Modern Terminal: New Approaches to Airport Architecture

Rating:
Summary: Almost a step-by-step manual on airport design
Review: Modern Terminal is the most complete manual-like book I've read so far. It gives valuable information from the first to the last page and they are not restricted to technical issues like areas, flows and other stuff. The author also makes comments on economic and psychologic aspects of an airport's design process. Trends are also analyzed. Lots of airports are reviewed. Dozens of pictures and plans help visualizing what's in the text. The only drawback is that there could be an annex with useful dimensions like aircraft size, loading bridge size and etc. The book covers the entire process since masterplanning until administration. Really helpful and up-to-date. Excellent.
