THE first sight that struck me as I entered the swanky Terminal 2 of Bengaluru International Airport Limited (BIAL) were the green vertical walls around the terminal with hanging gardens cascading from the terminal roof on bells and veils suspended from the ceiling. Filled with lush greenery, the airport provides a unique outdoor experience in the comfort of an indoor environment. The verdant ambience also extends to the green lagoons within its premises and the extensive forest belt between the terminal and boarding piers.
Designed by New York-based architectural firm SOM T2, the 255,661-sq.-m terminal is. . .
