Carrasco airport in Uruguay named as bestLebanon News.Net  The shell-shaped terminal, designed by Uruguayan-born architect Rafael Vinoly, was inaugurated in Carrasco last November. The article reads: “The new terminal is a gorgeous throwback to JFK circa 1960. In spirit, it's like Saarinen's TWA Terminal, but in style, it's more similar to the JFK's international arrivals hall. A 1,000-foot-long, low arch, it is as simple as a child's drawing of an airport, one unbroken, graceful curve. Inside, the departures hall is a great, sunlit room, like an old train station, and a top floor terrace commands sweeping views of the runways.” 15 of the world’s top airports have been listed by the magazine as: Terminal 3, at Beijing International Airport, China; Terminal 4, Barajas Airport, Madrid, Spain; TWA Terminal, John F. Kennedy Airport, New York; Sondika Airport, Bilbao, Spain; Denver International Airport, US; Incheon International Airport, Korea; Marrakech Menara Airport, Morocco; Chek Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong, China; Tempelhof International Airport, Berlin; Malvinas Argentinas Airport, Ushuaia, Argentina; Kansai International Airport, Osaka, Japan and Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Malaysia.
