DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR PASSENGER AIR TERMINALS

Although an airport may have immense ground dimension, there is no reason why humanism cannot be encompassed in the airport terminal. It is the utilization of modular space combined with humanism that makes a large airport possible. Dallas/Forth Worth Terminal is only one example of an evolutionary process toward designing passenger terminals that must expand and grow toward changing needs in the aviation industry. New solutions yet to come must exercise stronger discipline and greater imagination. /GMRL/
