Connecting Region to Airport

Tank,
The part of your blog that I commented on got me thinking so I did some looking and here is one example of connecting the area w/the airport. It is a public art project by Seyed Alavi where he took an areal view of the Sacramento river and wove it into the carpet for the floor the the pedestrian bridge from the terminal to the parking area. There's 50 miles of river on this bridge and is in the Sacramento International Airport. It's a good way to remember a flight and also a good first impression when walking into this city. I think they need to go ahead and go Gehry with it and put one in every city. Here's the website: http://here2day.netwiz.net/seyedsite/publicart/flyingcarpet/flyingcarpetframe.html
