Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 3 work in progress photo

[S V Choong 4]

Here are the updated photos of the Beijing Capital Terminal 3 designed by British architect, Sir Norman Foster, of Foster and Partners who are also the architect for Hong Kong's International Airport at Chek Lap Kok and HSBC headquarter building in Hong Kong.

 

Still a long way to go before completion, but speed of construction is impressive. It seems a bit faster than Global 'something' (or gobbled something ) at BKI.

Wow, that new Terminal looks very impressive in size (esp. if you compare this to the new T5 @ LHR )

Scales of buildings in China is just one word "Massive".

This is China we're looking at. Everything is in massive scale. Just like Shanghai / Pudong, recently open and in need of expansion already. So is the new Guangzhou, super busy.Beijing should be no exception.

i think they use the same 'design' concept like the turtle-shaped building in HK. good fortune?
