In the second half of the 20th century Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport was the biggest and busiest facility of its kind in the world. Designed by a team of architects led by C.F. Murphy Associates, O’Hare remains one of the largest architectural commissions in Chicago’s history.
Soon after opening, O’Hare emerged as the industry standard. Design strategies such as the central parking garage, movable jetway bridge, and two-tiered entryway separating arrivals and departures made O’Hare an international model for jet-age airport design.
