Maquette du concours pour l'aéroport de Canton-Baiyun, Chine
1998
"Passengers about to land will see a large, bright rectangle on the ground with a dark line through the middle. A roof, the largest roof in the world, sitting on top of the landscape like a giant map. Canton! They have arrived in Canton!" (Andreu)
The airport is the modern symbol of the city, but it also carries an imaginative dimension. Seen from the sky, the roof of Canton airport looks like a map. lnside, it is a cloud attached to the top of slender, leaning structures like the stems of a bamboo forest. The project is functional and adaptable to changes in modes of operation and traffic.
