Singapore's Changi Airport is a major hub for international transport, with more than 135,000 passengers passing through every day. One guy took photos of the airport and explained why no one mind to wait for their flights there. The airport is an architectural marvel. The newest terminal, Terminal 3, was designed by CPG Consultants, in collaboration with Woodhead, Tierra Design and SOM, Bartenbach LichtLabor and Hugh Dutton & Associates
