Sandakan Airport Feature Wall 2



The coloured glass panel

Seen here from outside (mmm..interesting roof construction also)

Aluminium louvres next to it


I flew to Sandakan again recently and this time I didn't forget to take more pictures of the feature glass wall (with my new canon eos1000D). Upon further inspection, the feature glass wall is actually consist of two layers of coloured glass panels, inside and outside with a gap in between. Interestingly, I noticed that inside the gap, a concrete wall is constructed at 30-60 degree angle to the outside glass panel. Maybe this is to avoid the sunlight from entering direct through the glass panel. The natural light being reflected inside, thus creating something like a 'warm' lighting effect seen from inside the airport.
