The United Terminal at O'Hare Airport was designed by world-renowned architect Helmut Jahn. The process of its construction took place from 1985-1988. The terminal has an airy, open quality that is refreshing, and stands out from the usual claustrophobic nature of many airport interior spaces. Jahn made great use of functional elements that also stand out as design highlights. The highlight of the terminal is the long tunnel passengers travel down through a kinetic light and sound sculpture.
The top picture here with the country flags is a picture from Terminal 3 (American's terminal) which isn't Helmut Jahn's architecture. The rest of the pictures appear to be, however.
