The Problem With Brandenburg Airport

The architect for the airport was a man by the name of Minehart von Gherken. He wrote a book, I believe it's called black box B.E.R. and here are two quotes from him about airport shopping: Most passengers have no desire to buy anything. The second quote is, why should I have to drag around two bottles of overpriced whiskey in a plastic bag like a beggar? So when he designed Brandenburg, he left no space for shops. Nine months after the construction started, politicians realized the airport was going to be too small. They ordered a redesign because 65% more floor space wasn't enough. There's so many weird details like that.
