I am an architect and I was all shocked to see the so hyped new BIAL. It is so surprising that our media is also so illitrate when it comes to appreciate good things. What they have been praising as world class airport, is nothing more than a better version than existing airport any where in the country. The airport is so old fashined designed as compared to new breed at KL, singapore, shangahai, etc. that this is nothing more than a glossy warehouse/yard. By putting swanky flooring and materials, you dont achieve design. Design is something which you visualise and plan and develop. I am sorry that such airports represent the corrupt nature of our country. it is so evident at all corners of this airport. Ugly columns, ugly selection of materials, bad lighting, inefficient AC, not so good toilets, foorball ground kinfd of planning etc etc..there is no design no architecture but only a good quality shed. We need much better than this.
