A digital scan, consisting of a single JPEG file (.jpg), of a watercolor drawing titled "Detroit Metropolitan Airport Departure Terminal.” Its exterior features a glass vestibule underneath a roof that curves upwards. The roof appears supported by vertical suspension poles and cables. Underneath, a wide walkway leads to the glass vestibule, which itself leads to a larger glass-front building. Cars can be observed on the departure level above as well as the arrival level below. People wearing brightly colored clothing travel in and out of the building, some of whom pull suitcases.
