The Tunnel

United Airlines Terminal, O'Hare International Airport

Helmut Jahn Architect

Chicago, Illinois


About the building:
These are some view of the tunnel connecting United Airlines Terminal One at Chicago O'Hare International Airport with Terminal 2. Some pretty interesting lighting effects... The neon lights that go down the centre, over the moving walkways, are laid out in a rainbow pattern and sequence on and off in a ripple pattern. Not a terrible place to kill some time while waiting all day on standby for a flight back to Toronto as a result of the Great Blackout of 2003...
