One of my favorite parts of traveling is the experience of navigating airports. What may be a stressful part of the journey for most people is, for me, actually deeply energizing and invigorating. That's because airports are the perfect encapsulation of so many of my interests: architecture, infrastructure, transportation, and civic space.
In many cities, airports serve as one of the most striking focal points of public infrastructure. They express the city's unique character, culture, and traditions. Today—together with libraries—they seem to be one of the last remaining areas where governments have the will to invest in grand, soaring, civic spaces.
Airports also tell stories—not just the stories of those passengers beginning and ending their journeys, but also the stories of cities', regions, and nations' economic development over time.
