1902-2025
It’s mad to me they can progress this way on a national landmark with very little information given to the public or official plans or anything. They said it would be partial demolition but the whole thing’s gone now. I don’t even think the wing is that historically important but this seems crazy
Just par for the course for this administration

It seems the redesigns all follow the same format (a new headhouse and renovated satellite concourses).
It’s all a matter of design preference and who’s going to be a sucker and stick the president’s name on it.
One designer even wants to re-imagine the “mobile lounge” vehicles as well and reincorporate them in a new design.
They can name/rename later. If the naming gets it built quickly then so be it. Airport name changes all the time. He won’t be President forever.
