I just might enjoy being in this airport

Sounds llke a pretty cool idea for an airport. "Rafael Viñoly Architects’ plans for a new international terminal at Florence’s Aeroporto Amerigo Vespucci are a novel twist on green urban design. The terminal, which is expected to be completed by 2035 and serve as many as 5.9 million passengers through six hubs, will be covered by a 7.7-hectare vineyard. This will root the airport in the Tuscan landscape and celebrate the region’s wine as one the most recognisable Italian exports. The grapes will be cared for by a local winemaker who will have a cellar in the airport."
