Down to Earth

6. Madrid Barajas International Airport, Terminal 4 (Richard Rogers)


5. JFK International Airport, TWA Terminal (Eero Saarinen)


4. Heathrow International Airport, Terminal 5 (Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners)
3. Incheon International Airport, Seoul (Fentress Bradburn Architects)
2. Bilbao Airport (Santiago Calatrava)
1. Beijing Capital International Airport ( Foster + Partners)
Travel + Leisure came out yesterday with the world's ugliest airport terminals. They are appalling, so much so I can't share them with you. I have also been reading "Home From Nowhere" by James Howard Kunstler that discusses how the United State's civic planning has a negative psychological impact, specifically how suburbia discourages our participation in communities. Inspired by that, I have been thinking about travels and coincidently found on Flavorwire some images of the world's most beautiful terminals. Only one is in the United States - how does that makes us feel?
