Megastructure Schiphol Book Review

Megastructure Schiphol Book Review

The book Megastructure Schiphol — Design in Spectacular Simplicity charts the design development of Schiphol airport, and reveals how the airport is both international in its orientation and a result of the landscape and public-infrastructure planning tradition of the Netherlands. The various aspects of Schiphol’s design, such as its growth over time, spatial impact and day-to-day operations, are communicated in essays, images and data visualizations. A nice read for people interested in airport design.
