Almost all airport designs are governed by regulations established by the International Civil Aviation Organization to ensure pilots circling Toledo or Timbuktu remain properly oriented and deliver passengers and cargo safely. Lauren O’Neil turns those strictures into art, with the help of Google Earth. The Brooklyn-based designer has made a meticulous study of airport runways and logged the results on a Tumblr called Holding Pattern. These views reveal beautiful compositions at airports that are nothing special at ground level. “I've found even the most humdrum cities or outdated terminals can have beautiful compositions from bird’s-eye,” O’Neil says. “Even Cleveland rocks!” Dozens of carefully cropped images reveal common traits among airports, and the logic and order embodied by seemingly random lines becomes clear.
