A promotional video for the second terminal at the Kempegowda International Airport opens with the word ‘reimagined’.
On purely aesthetic terms, T2, which the airport operators are pitching as a biodiversity hotspot, is a departure from the sprawl-swank themes of many modern airports.
Central to this coming together of the sensorial and the sustainable is flora sourced from multiple ecological habitats and showcased on green walls, forest belt passages, and bronze bells suspended from the ceiling.
The plants on the hanging bells were a big draw when the new facility was thrown open for a media walkthrough on Saturday.
