Synopsis:

This powerful collection of black-and-white photographs celebrates the construction of the new Bangkok airport. Full-page photographs by the on-site architect portray the unexpected beauty of repeating patterns of steel, glass, and concrete combining to create a work of art in progress. Cold clean lines, precisely repeating curves, negative and positive space, shapes within shapes in trusses and meshes―these are the raw elements of this superlative visual feast of architectural images.

About the Author: Carl J. D'Silva is an associate principal architect at Murphy/Jahn Architects in Chicago. He worked on the Passenger Terminal Complex design for the new Suvarnabhumi Airport from 1996 to 2006 and served as the on-site project architect during the construction phase.
