On following links you will find impressive pictures of newly constructed Changi Terminal 3. The “forest in an airport” – idea reminds me a little bit of KLIA 😉 I wonder how long the plants will survive since, unlike KLIA, they are not put into a special greenhouse-like area, but planted directly inside the terminal building.
At first view the roof reminds of 80s architecture, at second view it’s a really stunning idea to simulate sun light floating through forrest trees.

I am so excited at being on the first flight out of termianl 3 on Jan 9th 2008 to London Heathrow. Terminal 3 has superb ardchitecture, gardens with waterfalls, a roof that appears to have come from a science fictiob set. There is a hotel that can be used for transfer passangers which includes sauna , swimming pool excellent bars and cafe’s. The terminal is wellappointed with plush shops selling everything a traveller could require.. The terminal is so large you can’t see from one end to the other, The staff are gracious and helpful. The sky train which connects all terminals is smooth a, fast and efficient… A very well organised airport. just what a traveller needs in the 21st century.
