To enhance efficiency, increase terminus, and determine the movement of passengers, airports are constantly being refurbished. However on the backdrop of the scramble of queues and cheque-in announcements, the emotional part of tourists is usually forgotten. Accompanied by careful installations, flowers are capable of turning airports into more pleasant and relaxing places where stress is relieved, at least short term.
Think about a modernised terminal that has smooth walkways, computer screens, and daylight. Add to these now vertical gardens of orchids, or hanging baskets of petunias, or broad floral gardens in front of seats. These features provide the travellers with not just the visual relief, but the psychological one. During the moments of wait and protracted layovers, flowers can offer a feeling of comfort - a reminder of how there is life outside the disorder of transit.
The cultural identity can also be seen in the floral installations. The airport of Japan could be decorated with cherry blossoms and the airport of the Netherlands with tulips, welcoming the passengers by the feeling of belonging and pride. To foreign tourists, such flowers are not just decorations; they are their first and last impressions of a place.
Final Idea / Philosophy: Renovations make sure that the airports can transport people in an effective manner, yet flowers can make them realise that travelling is not a question of logistics. They generate silence, aestheticism and recollection on areas characterised by time rush. With the growth and modernization of airports, a question arises; will travelling be a mechanical aspect or will it be transformed into a humane process?
