Shanghai Pudong International Airport, China

Pudong International Airport Shanghai

The Shanghai Pudong International Airport replaced the Hongqiao in 1999. Two more runways opened in the following years, and Terminal 2 opened in 2008. The third Terminal will open shortly.

The first Terminal (photo above) resembles the famous Kansai International Airport in Japan, with stacked gates and a waving roof form. The second Terminal, by Richard Rogers, is round with a upper skylight lighting scheme rather than large ribbon windows.
