Dubai, 10.00am of a Sunday. The corporate headquarters of the Emirates Group becomes the latest in a long line of visited buildings that are truly impressive to behold. Glassed, girdered and decidedly open-air, it’s a wonderful “junior” complement to Emirates’ spectacular Terminal 3, just on the other side of the highway. (“Junior” is no denigration; in matters of size, there are airports and then there is everything else.)
In fact, one of Emirates’ senior V.P.’s, Richard Vaughan, explains that so busy has Terminal 3 proven in the half-year since its opening, flights are already spilling over into Terminal 2. Nice work, if you can get it.
