The Creator's Words
"The design of the new terminal at Stansted Airport has been influenced by two important factors. The first is the opportunity, in the context of a new site, to reconsider the configuration of an airport building from first principles. The second is the relationship of the building to its surroundings."
— from Foster and Partners
