Many books have been written about airport design at a particular moment in history, but none have rigorously considered why, where, when, and how the ideas we now take for granted originated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book traces the history of airport design by considering the philosophies adopted by designers, the functional layouts they have developed, and the resultant form of the airport through a series of 40 case studies divided into 7 eras of approximately 20 years each.
