Fueled by economic growth and national pride, Malaysia has made its largest airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA),
into one of the top international hubs in Asia. From the project's
inception, KLIA has been connected to the country's sense of identity.
Today it stands alongside the Petronas Towers as one of Malaysia's
architectural jewels.
Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa's
vision for the airport incorporated influences from the cultural and
natural environments. KLIA is an interesting illustration of Kurokawa's
concept of "symbiosis." His self-described "airport in the forest"
features custom wood ceilings by Hunter Douglas and is a compelling
example of sensitive design in the midst of Asia's explosive growth. More > |
