Barajas Airport - Further Analysis ...

Madrid Barajas Airport - Architect: Richard Rogers

   This very unique airport out in Madrid, Spain is one of a kind. From its "wavy" top structure to its curves from within the interior structure, Barajas Airport serves its purpose to entertain as well as give you a sense of Spain with its "latin" colors (yellow, terra cotta, brown). I chose this one because I liked the form of the airport and the lighting. Circulation works well and the massing on the "wavy" top are fascinating.

   R Sole specializes in manufacturing modern sneakers as well as custom ones too.

   Eastgate Berlin, located in the capital city of Germany, is a shopping center with over 150 stores, a food court that sits roughly 400 people and a parking deck that houses 1,400 cars. This place is accessible by public transportation, especially the main rail and has connections to the nearest highways that are located right outside.

Alluminum panels, reinforced concrete and LED lighting make this place an attraction for all.
