Istanbul based design firm Autoban undertook the immense challenge to design the entire interior of Baku, Azerbaijan's Heydar Aliyev International Airport. Following the commitment that "architecture and interior design should tell the same story," the firm drew inspiration from the structure and form of the building, one of many that, thanks to such stars as Zaha Hadid's Heydar Aliyev Center and HOK's Flame Towers, is putting Baku on the global architectural map. Valuing hospitality and the beauty of experience, Autoban designs a terminal that encourages the soaring building to embrace the intimate human scale.
