where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

Terminal 3

Simply impressive. And I really mean that its design is simple and impressive.

Clockwise (from top left): The special roof is quite a masterpiece, which as we all know can shift its tilt to allow natural light in. The green wall, which is the five-storey wall of climbers, provides a soft feature, separated by almost silent waterfalls. The entire departure hall from the upper level. The check in rows, which are very nicely lit with air-con vents above it to save energy (as oppose to placing air-con vents near the ceiling).

Clockwise (from top left): The departure gate, which looks pretty darn good, taking a circular form. Into the restricted zone, there's gonna be a Brewerkz! The huge and vast immigration hall (which visitors from the departure hall can look into). Lastly, the boarding gates, which unlike T1 and T2, is taking the cluster form (where 4 gates share one waiting area), much like the Incheon airport in Seoul.

Me fooling around behind the check in counter.

Lastly, the skytrain from T3 to T2 provides a really good view of the whole airport vicinity, these photos were taken on the sky train towards T2.

In all, T3 is of quite a good design - simple, clean, glassy. Though I felt that more warmth could have been infused (especially at the arrival hall) using timber and nice lighting.
But it is probably a design that would stand the test of time, not too opulent or gaudy like the Dubai airport I visited in May. Quite well done.
