MeyerBros

everyone knows that airports are the best place for people-watching, and a well-handled layover can really be a public performance art installation.

at the JFK airport, they’ve taken that performance seriously and hired David Rockwell, a set designer, to design their new terminal. He, in turn, hired choreographer Jerry Mitchell as a collaborator. Together they have designed “Hairspray”, “The Rocky Horror Show”, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and now an airport terminal.

Watch this slide show with audio for more about the project. there’s also a New York Times article.
