Text description provided by the architects. Constructed in 1979 by the highly respected Taiwanese structural engineer T. Y. Lin and influenced by Eero Saarinen’s Washington Dulles International Airport, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 1 featured a prestressed structure that was state of the art at the time. However, after thirty years of use, Terminal 1 was operating over capacity and had become outdated well before its time.
