{\it The airport's performance of spectatorship creates new ordeals of solitude, the need for continual fluidity is attained by oppressive control and mechanization and the attempt to make passengers feel at home, results in flatness, sameness and the aseptic uniformity of the airport atmosphere.}

These crises are not isolated from each other. They coexist in the architecture and in the modus operandi of contemporary airports.
