Exterior Facade

Note: There was no plans for this building, It was also hard for me to acquire
sections and plans of transportation terminals. I guess for security reasons
many agencies did not publicly display plans of major terminals. 

My thoughts on Analysis

The visual aesethics of these terminals differ but at the same time relate to a common theme. The buildings all use large curtain wall facades that are not very dominate while at the same time uses roof designs that are very dominate and the main focal point on design. 

These buildings dont have any overall symmetry but there is some portions in the floor plan that has symmetry.  As for the geometric shapes of these buildings, lets just say they are plentiful.
