Spokane International Airport is undergoing a transformation with the expansion and renovation of its Concourse C. The 144,000-square-foot expansion will create a world-class experience for travelers with three new gates and six airline ticket counter locations. Current ground boarding gates will also be replaced with three passenger loading bridges, in addition to upgrades to existing gates. The airport estimates that more than 6.2 million passengers will travel through the facility annually by 2030. MillerClapperton is fabricating 40,000 square feet of Metal Composite Material for the project.

“New buildings are constructed every day. Some to overwhelming fanfare, others to disdain, and most to little more acknowledgment than a passing glance on the street. Of course, there’s also another option: controversy. It doesn’t come around often, but when it does, it’s hard to forget. It’s important to note that there’s a big difference between ugly and contentious—in fact, many of the buildings on this list, like the Guggenheim, are as architecturally significant as they are aesthetically stunning. But looks aside, these buildings have stirred up arguments, created conflicts, or welcomed their fair share of debate.”

Human longing for a deeper connection with nature has persisted for ages. Our ancestors seamlessly merged the natural and man-made realms in structures like the Roman villa and Arabic courtyard house. Now, amidst the looming climate crisis, biophilic design is enjoying a resurgence. By blending natural elements into architecture, we create serene spaces that enhance well-being while also fostering climate-resilient buildings. Architects are ingeniously infusing nature’s wisdom into innovative, state-of-the-art projects and you can view seven winning projects below that “masterfully combine form and foliage in surprising and unexpected ways.”
