In March 2008, the completion of Heathrow Terminal 5, a £4.3bn venture, did not receive the accolades it deserved due to the inefficiency of the services available when the terminal was open. There were reported cancellations and delays on all major flights which took away all the focus of the grandiosity of the newly built airport. Even more poignantly, environmentalists were not in support of the new terminal, as they believed it would only increase the pollution the world has been focusing on to limit. This can be seen as a highly hypocritical move by the government to spend millions of pounds creating more pollution with the arrival of the new airport; but in the same breathe spend millions on advertising campaigns telling us all to curb our wasteful lifestyles for the sake of the earth.
The true focus should be on the spectacular use of glass for whole building.
