Continual fluidity resonates with oppressive control and mechanization. Control and mechanization, in turn, reinforce the the supermodern character of airports. How are fluidity and efficiency addressed by Foster in Beijing’s Terminal 3 without incurring in an architecture of excessive control? Overall, PEK T3 was designed to accommodate an estimated 80 million passengers and 580,000 flights every year. With such a large amount of predicted traffic, it is obvious that the fluid motion of planes, passengers and luggage needs to be enforced. Beijing’s Terminal 3 features a high-speed people mover that transports passengers between domestic and international terminals (the two ends of the triangles) in less than 2 minutes. Similarly, luggage moves fast upon forty miles of conveyor belts that can handle 20,000 pieces of luggage per hour.
