Blog 8: Soekarno-Hatta International Airport – Paul Andreu

With the help of French architect Paul Andreu, the capital city of Indonesia, Jakarta, was given a brand new airport that was finished on May 1, 1985 and a lot of it had to do with the designing from Andreu himself.  This airport serves all people on the island of Java as well as the metro area of Jakarta.  It’s the 18th busiest airport in the world and the busiest and largest in southeast Asia. It is one of the most unique looking airports on the outside with the color orange all over as well as a really cool way of having one building connecting to three main areas where people will board to fly a plane.  It has a very great view of downtown Jakarta, which is about twenty minutes away, while the airport is in an area that looks more like the jungle instead of the very industrial looking urban Jakarta.
