Now that one is a WOW. The bottom one looks like a flight deck from Star Wars.

Those are amazing pictures! I once got stuck in that airport for about 6 hours waiting for a delayed flight, but it was before all this amazing architecture was built. This is a big improvement!

Oh I am going with Photo #1. The lines, color, curves are just great. It jumped right off the portal at me! Well done.

Certainly is a 'WOW'. A British architect? pity they didn't use him at Heathrow.

I especially like the lighting in your third photo.

Thanks for participating in the Daily Photo Map. A thumbnail of your latest photo now appears on the map.
