the south terminal expansion at miami international airport is the largest new building project
that the miami-dade county has ever taken on for the airport. running from concourse H to concourse J,
the terminal is connected by a series of sky bridges for easy navigation. like many other airports,
the passenger's overall experience and orientation is heightened through the use of natural light,
that runs through the high volume, multilevel spaces which are visually connected by moving walkways.

madrid barajas airport, spain
by roger stirk harbour + partners (1997-2005)
another one of roger stirk harbour's airport designs, except much more impressive than
london's T5 at heathrow airport. madrid barajas airport is a structural progression of space.
the modular design sequence of waves is formed by large prefabricated steel wings.
the great roof is held up by structural trees which are punctuated by roof lights,
controlling the natural sunlight that pours through the terminal's upper level.
the terminal is constructed from a simple list of materials, including a ceiling that is clad in bamboo strips.
the structural trees are painted in such a way to provide long vista of gradual color that extends the
1km length of the terminal. there are also light filled 'canyons' which divide the parallel floors
what accommodate passengers at their various points of check-in
