wish they could have won the fight for the apertures in the ceiling. now it just seems like a one trick pony. a nice pony and a pretty good trick. an unfortunate loss is all.

nice project on the whole. large transit spaces are quite difficult.

Is the interior space of this that unremarkable that they only give us views of the curtainwall and curved volume? Where does picture 3 pay-off in the interior? If pic 5 would only turn a little more to the right and give us something that isn’t self-evident by the exterior shape.

I get that it’s going to be a curved volume by the exterior but what else does it do?

Rafael Viñoly has his own unique style for more than a decade.
Read some history before make a first-year-student comment.

“New York architects Rafael Viñoly have completed an airport with a curved roof in Montevideo, Uruguay.”

I really like the fact that the only architectural interest is summarized in one sentence “with a curved roof”. That’s it, with a curved roof.Waaaah.
