Stunning Beijing airport, to be completed this year, by Fosters & Partners



Beijing Airport is scheduled to be completed this year in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Designed by Fosters & Partners, it’s supposed to be the largest and most advanced airport in the world, with a floor space of over a million square meters with an estimated 43 million passengers a year to pass through its doors.
It looks simply stunning with “its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form” which “evoke traditional Chinese colours and symbols“. Now another reason to visit China! (Well, not yet.)
