ABOUT

Beijing’s new international airport terminal was designed as the gateway to the city as it welcomed athletes from around the world to the twenty-ninth Olympiad in 2008. The world’s largest and most advanced airport building - not only technologically, but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency and sustainability - it is welcoming and uplifting. A symbol of place, its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form will celebrate the thrill and poetry of flight and evoke traditional Chinese colours and symbols.
