I actually went to Bhutan 🇧🇹 two years ago! Basically all buildings that you see everywhere are in traditional Bhutanese architectural style. It’s a beautiful style! But it also gets a bit monotonous eventually. Something could be a hotel, prison, office building, school, apartment building, or the airport, and it might be difficult to tell what it is without a sign. I remember thinking to myself “surely they could loosen up a bit while still holding on to the principles.”So I think this new airport’s design is lovely to see! It still feels distinctly Bhutanese while breaking up the monotony.
