STYLE AT YWG - WINNIPEG AIRPORT

Winnipeg international airport has been named one of the 10 most-stylish airports in the word by Fodor's Travel, a New York-based publisher of international guidebooks. The $585-million James Armstrong Richardson International airport recently celebrated its second birthday. Erica Duecy of Fodor's says she was fascinated how the architects played off the prairie landscape in designing the airport.The highlight is the more than 50 skylights looking down on the arrivals area. Stanis Smith, executive vice-president of Stantec, which worked with Pelli Clark Pelli Architects on the design, says the idea behind the constellation of skylights was to create a galaxy-like feel and represent the night sky in an abstract way. He says he's delighted at being recognized along with some of the most famous airports in the world, including San Francisco International
