A typology that has appeared first only a couple of centuries ago has become one of the most important centers of traffic in the past decades. This type of architecture is often neglected by many as it is not a stationary like other buildings. It’s about flows and rapidity, meaning it is highly regulated, and therefore it may seem for one that there is no space for architecture. However, for others, an airport is one of the most current types of architecture as it symbolises the rapid flows of our highly digitized society. It evokes the problems our profession faces today, notably confusion of scale and the return of ornamentation [Picon, 2012]. As our world is becoming more connected through the Internet and advanced infrastructures, the notions of individuality and locality have become blurred, often resulting in peculiar contradictions. These are fully present In airports, for example the duality of private and public in the airspace and control zones, or that an airport can be experienced either from the inside or from far away, a height of a flying airplane. This building is an articulation point between various aspects of our society, that is trying to define a small scale in this big world.
