Beijing Capital International Airport is one of the two main international airports serving Beijing, alongside Beijing Daxing International Airport. It is located 32 km northeast of Beijing's city center, in an enclave of Chaoyang District and the surroundings of that enclave in suburban Shunyi District.
According to the very own architect of the airport, the airport showcases the unique Chinese sense gateway of the nation speaking for its context.
It is expressed in its dragon-like form and the structure of the soaring roof is a blaze of ‘traditional’ Chinese colors – imperial reds merging into golden yellows.

It is the first "green high rise building" to be completed in New York City.
It is a wonderfully collaborated modern high-rise building with 100 years old tower-base headquarters, and in numerous ways, it can be called a skyscraper architecture. By designing the roof to collect rainwater to use in air-conditioning for the internal environment and recycling through an upside-down running system, Foster and partners pushed the eco-efficiency of this structure to a greater level.
