Excited to see the changes of the interior designs though.
Much of Europe has a completely different climate than the U.S. and especially Chicago. I can imagine the temperature regulation calculations look very different for Chicago which has almost double the direct sunshine hours as London.

East Asia is also more comparable to Canada than the U.S. in that respect.

Energy bills might legitimately not be a huge issue for airport architecture in Europe and Asia.

Oh well. Those sorts of environmental limits can allow for organic shifts in style if done right.
