The world’s largest and most advanced airport building - not only technologically, but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency and sustainability – Beijing Airport will be welcoming and uplifting. A symbol of place, its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form will celebrate the thrill of flight and evoke traditional Chinese colours and symbols.
i really liked the "graffiti faced" building i saw the other day (website). somewhere in spain, i think. the building was square, but the facade was covered with swirls that remind you of a tag-covered wall.
