"The project AIRPORTS is dedicated to a place to which most travelers often pay little attention on their way to their destination. Nevertheless, the view from above shows a very autonomous, graphic, and almost illustrative quality of airports. Between terminal facilities and runway markings, the airplanes on concrete taxiways become a miniature edition of themselves. A showplace that reveals order in the chaos when viewed from a great distance. Its smooth operation is due to planners, architects, and engineers. Airports are catalysts of a highly mobile society and a connecting link between continents, countries, towns, and people."
