Pro Race TXL

An Airport for

Professionals

Close to home for many,

astonishingly efficient and a

structure of geometric beauty,

Flughafen Tegel is known

among Berliners and international

travellers as the greatest

airport of all time, space and

dimension.

To pay homage to the great

structure and comment on its

weighty existence, Pro Race

TXL was devised.

​

A Race of

Professionals

Various professions that depend

on the airport and value

convenience as much as great

architecture and design, were

invited to show their expertise

in fast travelling and bending

time, in a speed-walking

relay race at Tegel Airport. The

Race took place on 21 April

2012.
