Flying out of the Atlanta airport yesterday, I was surprised to notice the full, surreal extent to which its terminals are designed for airplanes rather than people. Uncanny to see the above-ground buildings surrounded by tarmac on all sides, like the deck of an aircraft carrier.

Happy Friday #ATL! It’s this layout of runways that allows up to 3 planes to land every 45-60 secs ✈️ Love this shot by iWally Photography

I was also contemplating that after seeing the airport layout. There used to be such an emphasis on arriving at a destination, which ofc. has changed. Last year some of my architecture classmates realized they couldn’t find info to study an airport because of security concerns.
