Ha. It does.
My point is that there's a very fine line between tastefully whimsical (e.g. Madrid-Barajas) and kitschy.
For LA, we tend to get more of the latter. That's why a basic, no-frills design modular (i.e. cheaper to build) that focuses on silhouette and natural light and articulated through high-quality materials is the best approach as far as "future-proofing" the airport. Draw inspiration from the Stahl House and the MCM architecture in Palm Springs. That's a classic, quintessential cultural identifier of Los Angeles that's revered by most.
