Unprecedented Design Approach - ABLE & Charles De Gaulle

I have been to Paris a few times but for some reason, I have never walk through building terminal 2E, which shocked me when I found out that it has a very similar design approach to my ABLE project. A longitudinally capsule like structure, that emphasises on the open spatial surrounding, it totally mirrors to what I was trying to achieve for the ABLE project. I honestly have not seen this building before , but it is sad to say that I am lacking behind in innovative design approach by 10 years, when the construction started in 1999 and finish in 2004. But with my design thesis going as planned, I do hope I can create something different that set my design apart from any other, creating a distinction and a new focal point for my site and city itself. As the ABLE is only an experimental to my design thesis, it is just a way of studying my design approach for my concept, and not implementing the initial draft for January in any way.
