Zurich Airport

This August, I was in Switzerland for a family event. Any one who flies to Switzerland will usually spend some time in Zurich International Airport. Well, at least I did. And, even though I've been through that airport many times in my life, this time I must have had my eyes open for design. Let me tell you, if you get a chance to spend some time in the airport, and you need some inspiration, you're in the right place!

If you know a little about design, you must also know about Helvetica, the famous type face originating in Switzerland. And this recently remodeled and expanded airport lives and breathes Helvetica! But it's not just all the signage and directions everywhere, it's the architecture itself that just radiates the authentic Swiss design style

Now, you may be wondering why I'm telling you this... The reason is that what you see in front of you is a website design based on some of the elements I saw at the airport. For those who know me, I'm a big proponent of the "less-is-more" mentality, so I've built this Drupal sub-theme of Zen and called it zurich_airport. Enjoy!
