Yes, I had a Gatchaman flashback as we approached MCI (the Kansas City airport). The airport was once a super-cool-cast-concrete airport-of-the-future by Kivett & Myers. As a child its bold modernist-part-brutalist made a lasting impact on my design psyche. However, now its form and materials have been smothered by a hokey mid-western chic. Myers died earlier this month - but the battle lives on! Underneath the carmel colored paint job, the concrete shell is itching for a rematch.
