The Theme Building
Historic Airport Building
(10)
Historic, space-age architectural landmark built in 1961. It is instantly recognizable and offers a unique visual experience.
What's the vibe
Stepping into this mid-century modern icon feels like a journey to a retro-futuristic past, a "future that never was and one that could still be." Its quirky, UFO-shaped design, often mistaken for an airport control tower, is particularly striking when lit by colorful spotlights at night.

About
Designed by Pereira & Luckman in 1961, this Modern icon is recognized worldwide as the space-age landmark of one of the world’s youngest and most influential major cities. It was part of a major postwar expansion of the airport, a scaled-down version of an original vision for an enormous glass dome.
