Designed by etc.etc. for Rosenthal, you can make it yours here.
The abbreviations, elaborate runway constructions, and complexity of tower control gives airports a language unto themselves. And while I never plan on learning to understand much of it on my own, I can definitely plan to admire it all thanks to these airport prints from 08 Left. Choose from location callouts, runway plans, and tower designs (my favorite!) for a long list of domestic and international airports.

Watch the film below, and be sure to click over to read Maria’s artist statement on the project! (And if you check out her portfolio you’ll notice her penchant for architecture.)
