The Rainbow

‘The Rainbow’ – the 1991 artwork by Icelandic artist Rúrí at Keflavík Airport in Iceland.

The Rainbow

The artwork by Icelandic artist Rúrí is situated in front of the air terminal a short distance to the north. It reaches 24 metres into the sky, made of stainless steel and stained glass. “The natural rainbow materializes out of the blue, lasts for a few moments and disappears just as suddenly as it appeared. Nobody can grasp it, nor even get close to it, yet it holds a very special value for most people”. Rainbow vas installed in 1991.

Terminal 3 is a large, majestic space at BCIA, Beijing International Airport.

Envision a majestic space, two miles long, shaped like a dragon. Above, a flurry of reds and yellows color a dizzying mesh ceiling, backlit by the sun, and below, 50 million people pass each year. This building, one of the world’s largest, is no palace or museum—it’s Terminal 3 at Beijing International Airport.
