Beijing International Airport

Beijing 2003–2008

Beijing’s new international terminal is the world’s largest and most advanced airport building, not only technologically, but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency and sustainability. Its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form celebrate the thrill and poetry of flight and evoke traditional Chinese colours and symbols.
