COX Architecture

Great airports do more than move people.

They become symbols of connection, ambition and possibility.

They help shape how people experience a place, and how a region sees itself.

As Western Sydney International Airport (@wsiairport) gets ready for take-off, COX Principal David Holm reflects on an 11-year journey from first sketch to first flight, and the role architecture can play in shaping a region's future.

"Good airport design should be close to invisible when you're running late for a flight. I hope some will notice something more poetic: a place with a rich history and an exciting future."
