Take for instance the modern airport terminal or concourse setting. While once filled with sounds of the idle chatter of passengers, crew, and the occasional Public Address announcement has now given way to blazing beeps and horns of trolleys, rumblings of trolleys and trams and the clatter of moving sidewalks. The once lively small talk of passengers has waned into the occasional passerby chatting aimlessly into a cellular phone or Bluetooth headset seemingly growing out of their ear. Even the familiar overhead roar of planes has been muted through modern acoustical materials and treatments. Materiality part of a larger palette that also asserts itself a place in an industrial aesthetic, exposing structure, celebrating connections, and edifying the raw materials of which it is composed. A fitting celebration of all man s technological aspirations and a soaring testament to his precisions and prowess therein. Home.
