In this month’s transportation issue, Architectural Record features the new terminal at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru, India.
Former Partner Roger Duffy, Partner Laura Ettelman, and Principal Peter Lefkovits discuss how our “terminal in a garden” design radically reimagines the travel experience by connecting passengers to nature along each step of their journey.
“Airport terminals are essentially machines for processing travelers and often glorify notions of speed and efficiency. ‘Don’t worry, we’ll get you there as fast as possible,’ they try to say. The new building at Kempegowda Airport has a different message for passengers: ‘Relax, go outside, enjoy a bit of nature,’” writes Clifford A. Pearson.
