This study investigates the elements of airport architecture as a typical architectural type of supermodernity and discusses its meaning. Airport architecture, rather than a single structure or a group of structures, represents an enormous space that constitutes the flight process, evolving constantly to meet both a high level of functional rationality and aesthetic demands that reveal the distinct identity of the area and structure. Airport architecture is regarded as a place of "supermodernity" in the sense that its technical and mechanical rationality dominates. The resulting characteristic of "neutrality" can be architecturally represented by descriptions such as "a continuum of infrastructure", "a vast and homogeneous space", "transparency", "a sense of drifting", and "ageless surfaces". In addition, the airport is a place of duality where globalism and localism coexist. Elements derived from functional rationality represent global universality, while flight and regional aesthetic expressions represent regional specificity. This place of supermodernity, the airport, accommodates the scale and complex program of a city in an abbreviated form, existing as a self-fulfilling independent entity and pseudo-city. |
