​Can architecture drip?
An international airport is an opportunity for a city to showcase its identity to visitors. That`s why the architects of Terminal 2 in Mumbai`s airport chose to reference the patterns of local jail window screens along its 17-acre roof. (Jali is the term for a perforated stone or latticed screen, usually with an ornamental pattern, often found in Indian architecture.) The coffered ceiling`s pattern that drips into columns lets in light from above with skylights, creating a strong visual gateway to the nation`s capital.

Architecture lets you know you`ve arrived.
