Descripciones mejoradas de Syndetics:

This comprehensive guide to the planning and design of airport terminals and their facilities covers all types of airport terminal found around the world and highlights the environmental and technical issues that the designer has to address. Contemporary examples are critically reviewed through a series of case studies. This new edition covers the most recent examples of high quality, technically advanced designs from the Far East, Europe and North America.

This book will be a source of inspiration and guiding principles for those who design, commission or manage airport buildings.
