Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport, Azerbaijan

One of seven international airports serving Azerbaijan, Baku Heydar Aliyev International Airport’s Terminal 1 features giant oak-veneer cocoons housing restaurants, stores and other amenities that are flanked by concave walls of glass. The review ranking site, Skytrax, awarded it five stars in 2018 – just one of eighteen airports in the world to receive the accolade.

Marrakesh Menara Airport, Morocco

With its striking lattice exterior, Marrakesh Menara Airport incorporates traditional cultural motifs that include Islamic ornamental designs and contemporary features with numerous stunning architectural elements. One of the largest and busiest in the country, the airport welcomed more than 6 million passengers in 2019 – who were sure to have been wowed by this building’s beauty.

Malvinas Argentinas International Airport, Ushuaia, Argentina

Small but beautiful, Malvinas Argentinas is the southernmost international airport in the world and serves as a gateway to the Antarctic. Opened in 1995, the building features a charming pyramid-style design and includes spectacular views of the surrounding Martial Mountains.

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, Spain

Visitors to Madrid-Barajas airport will not help but look up at the sweeping bamboo ceilings that gently wave through Terminal 4, creating a calming and harmonious effect – exactly what its architects had in mind when they set out to design a stress-free passenger experience. It’s no surprise that Madrid-Barajas’s Terminal 4 is the winner of six prestigious awards, including the RIBA European Award in 2008. The airport’s architects, Antonio Lamela, Richard Rogers and Luis Vidal, were also the winning team of the prestigious Stirling Prize for architecture in 2006.
