Four major art projects for new KCI terminal revealed
The first of four major art projects for the new single terminal airport at KCI have been revealed.
More than 1,000 artists from around the world submitted inquiries after Kansas City announced an international search for artists. The city said the four works of art were chosen because they either reflected the wonder of travel or Kansas City history. The budget for artwork at KCI’s new terminal is $5.65 million. Kansas City’s single-terminal airport is expected to open on budget and on time in early 2023. “The fact that we’ve been through a pandemic over the last year and yet this project remains on time, on schedule, and on budget is a testament to the good work of the team,” said Justin Meyer with the KC Aviation Department. You can see the renderings of the art projects in the gallery below. Entitled "Molten Swing" Entitled "The Air up There" Entitled "Ornithology" Entitled "Fountain of Resonance" "Molten Swing" looks kind of like a mosaic dog or cat to me, it might look cool though but not sure what to make of it at this point. "The Air up There" simply looks like some lights on the ceiling, again it might look better when you're actually there I hope. "Ornithology" reminds me of those attacking creatures in the Pitch Black movie. You just knew one of the artwork they chose would have a WTF moment and this is it. "Fountain of Resonance" I approve of this one. Thoughts? https://fox4kc.com/news/art-projects...inal-revealed/ |

So I'm not sure what that has to do with dragging me into the modern day. It wasn't backed up, but it certainly felt congested and this was nominally paid drivers and shuttle bus drivers. These weren't the lanes for non commercial operation. But I could certainly believe it being a cluster mess say at 5 pm.

"are you trying to tell me that at other airports uncle bob can't just sit in front of the gate for 45 mins without moving waiting for someone to walk out?"

Cell phone lots are a great invention. You just pull in there and play on your phone until you get a call. It's easy to then go get someone. Our airport at Denver has gone even better. There are fast-food restaurants at the cell phone lot. So you can get there early and have some food.

The old KCI just never fully got on board and really enforced it. It is a people problem at all airports. Sky Harbor in Phoenix is pretty efficient given there's like 4 lanes and a pretty long corridor,.. but then people still try to cram into one lane and get pissy if you're stopped for a few seconds, etc. San Diego is one that's a great example of people being idiots... it's frequently backed up because everyone stops at the beginning of the terminal instead of using the full length of the terminal, and block lanes and so forth... plus it's probably too small of an airport for the traffic. Most have the same issues because of lack of education and people are idiots... just like recycle bins, it's why we can't have nice things. (and that's separate from any of the true issues of the new KCI... I havent been there yet to know if I'd call it crappy design).

Nope. Just politely asking people to move. They really need to borrow some attendants from the east coast to yell at these assholes.

Yes, we can all hope and pray that one day we all become perfect little automations that get dragged kicking and screaming into the 21 century. But until that time, it seems like it would have been worth it to set aside more space for pickup. I'm not really seeing what the downside would have been to have had a few more lanes and a longer corridor. Although I obviously don't know all the space constraints they were working against. It has been a few years, but the amount of space and the way that the Vegas Airport does for taxis seems pretty efficient.
