As Nikolic explains, the RMJM team drew inspiration from Russian Constructivism – a seminal art movement in the early 20th century. “Everything, from the space organisation to the geometric forms and palette used in our design for Terminal B, C1, C2 and the inter-terminal stations, is based on the work of renowned Constructivist artists such as Vladimir Tatlin, Nahum Gabo, Alexandra Vesnina, Alexander Rodchenko, El Lissitzky and Liubov Popova,” she says. “In the interior, the floors recall the graphic design and photos of Alexander Rodchenko, while the design of the aircraft at the Northern Terminal was inspired by Yakov Chernikhov’s drawings as visible in the top view of the composition scheme. The oblique columns of Terminals B and C2, that spread out like the wings of the central Terminal C, support canopies inspired by Naum Gabo’s painting, Kinetic sculpture. In fact, every detail is inspired by this avant-garde.”
