Architecture

Airport interior with tall green trees, wooden slatted ceiling, and directional signs above an escalator.

Into the Woods

By Siobhan Murray

The image shows a large, modern and airy indoor public space of the Portland International Airport with a high ceiling made of intricate wooden beams. The space is filled with people walking around, some carrying luggage, suggesting it is likely a transportation hub like a train station or airport terminal. The floor is made of patterned tiles, and there are potted plants and trees throughout the space, creating a lush, natural atmosphere. The lighting is warm and creates a welcoming ambiance. Overall, the image conveys a sense of openness, connectivity, and integration of nature within a built environment.
