| dc.description.abstract | One can arrive at as many as three or more airports on the way to their destination with two layovers during the trip, KFAR to KMSP to KSLC to KPSP for example. How can an airport design be more than just a vehicle for aviation, but serve as a desirable location to be, rather than just one more step along the path. It can have such a lack of circumstance that you only remember menial inconveniences, rather than a positive experience. With effort, can an airport be made to evoke a similar set of circumstance as a national landmark when seeing it? Perhaps to a select few, but the airport could have a grand sense of arrival instead of a mere step along the path. Economic expansion would benefit the expansion of existing infrastructure to be able to better support the local business hub that is the Twin Cities. Arrive sooner, forget the details along the way. Get in, get out, don’t care about surroundings. These are phrases that could be used in a critical manner to describe some airports. Statements that should not be used. Ellis Island and Angel Island had grand senses of arrival. However these are on a different scale from an airport but the sense of arrival from an airport should be carried over to the most popular form of overseas travel. | en_US |
