Shenzhen Opens Flashy New Airport Terminal >pic heavy<

[Snarkoleptic]

Makes me wonder what would be possible here if we didn't have a bloated military and tax dodging plutocrats/corporations.

The honeycomb shaped metal and glass panels punctuate the façade of the terminal allowing natural light to filter through, reducing energy consumption. On the interior, the terminal is characterized by distinctive white conical supporting columns that rise to touch the roof at a cathedral-like scale. Rainwater is collected and recycled in toilets and used to water indoor plants. It's the first airport in China to feature a 10-megawatt solar power plant, which cranks out enough power to support 10,000 U.S. households per month. Other interesting features include 116 white tree-shaped air conditioners that blend in with the terminal's interior design.

2. It's flashy and quite green.

Not sure the "white tree-shaped air conditioners" look very tree-like, but pretty neat overall.
