Name Loo, Kington | ||
Kington Loo was a modernist architect, active in Malaya/Malaysia in the post-World War II period.
Subang International Airport
Work on the Subang International Airport started in 1961 and finished in 1965 at a cost of $64 million. Its deceptively simple design consisted of a roof composed of floating concrete shells that was held aloft by mushroom-shaped columns. Loo is typically attributed with the design. The open structure also featured a massive circular ramp, reminiscent of Berthold Lubetkin's penguin pavilion in London. Most of the critically acclaimed modern structure was removed during a major reconstruction in 1983.
