Airport Design Takes Off
There's a memorable scene in the 2002 Steven Spielberg movie, Catch
Me if You Can. Leonardo DiCaprio, as a Pan Am pilot, is striding through
an airport, trailed by a bevy of skittish air hostesses. Their elegant

'I wish we could replicate the past but I think
it against nature.'
Kiley studied at the Harvard Department of Landscape Architecture
in the late 19- 30s and went on to revolt against the "natural"
English garden. "It's not man and nature," he will tell you.
