Beijing Capital International Airport —> “OLYMPIC”
March 28, 2008 A plan of the airport. Terminal 3 is a centerpiece project for the 2008 Olympics and is designed to relieve the overloaded airport’s other two terminals.

Beijing airport is preparing for the opening of its new Terminal 3, designed by Norman Foster, after four years of construction. It is the world’s largest airport building - covering more than a million square meters - designed to accommodate an estimated 50 million passengers a year by 2020. Take a closer look by clicking my small photos:
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 is welcoming and uplifting. A symbol of place, its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form celebrates the thrill of flight and evokes traditional Chinese colours and symbols.
