After four years of design and construction work, the world’s largest structure—Terminal 3 at the Beijing Capital International Airport—opens today, in time for the Olympic Games. Aside from the stunning roofscape, which integrates wayfinding in the orange, red and yellow interiors, this building is notablythe first to exceed one million square meters. Visible from space, it is built toaccomodate 50 million passengers by 2020.  Norman Foster said:"This new terminal is the largest and most advanced airport building in the world – a celebration of the thrill and poetry of flight.
"A gateway to Beijing, it communicates a unique sense of place, its dragon-like form evoking traditional Chinese colours and symbols."
