This 320-foot high air traffic control tower is the only major executed component of a comprehensive proposal to redevelop JFK International Airport.

We looked at mountains until dawn, and then when dawn came, it was too pretty for me - there was pink and blue and gold, in the sky, and on icy places, brilliant pink and gold flashes, and the snow was colored too, and I said," Oh," and sighed; and each moment was more beautiful than the one before; and I said, " I love you, Momma." Then I fell asleep in her arms.
That was happiness then.

I like the ACT of Stockholm Arlanda
Quote:
Arlanda’s new air traffic control tower has been singled out as an example of excellent Swedish architecture. The tower symbolises the two ravens Hugin and Munin, who according to old Norse mythology watched over the world. Join a tour and experience the view from the “balcony” of the 83 metre (272 foot) tall tower. On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Uppsala Cathedral.

The facade in highly polished architectural precast panels is ornamented with carefully selected quotations from Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Newcastle International's new 45m control tower that is currently U/C:






Designed by the same architects who did Edinburgh's great new control tower

Edinburgh's New 57m control tower, Newcastle's looks similar because it was designed by the same architects:
