> This sounds like an absolute opposite to hostile architecture trend that spawns public places nowadays.

A lot of that user-hostile design in public space seems aimed at discouraging people from loitering/camping out, especially those who didn't pay an entry fee or buy something. But everybody at an airport bought something to get in, and everyone has a specified departure time, so I think there's less incentive to make people uncomfortable.

"How To with John Wilson" has a bit about user-hostile design in public architecture that changed how I see New York, especially if you consider that some of the city's 'users' are pigeons.
