The reflections and splashes of color make it pretty rather than just eerie. Rare for a liminal space to be honest

bullshit. No business just leaves a giant open empty space under it.

Which airport is it, and is it just being built?

Frankfurt International Airport Terminal 2. Not being built, but this was a few weeks before it was shut down for renovations. Most airlines had already left so there were very few people around.

I'm not sure what, if anything, this space was actually used for though. Just a huge, seemingly pointless empty space next to the parking garages with some public toilets. No trace of any shops or anything having existed there.

Yup, I recognized this space immediately- Frankfurt Airport…been this way for a few years now. Oddly empty and quiet every time I’m there despite how busy and chaotic the main areas are. The bathrooms there are nice…also empty and quiet!

Thought it looked familiar... I hate that place so much

I used to know that airport like the back of my hand. That was like 7 years ago though. Knew where all of the empty bathrooms and lounging areas were. I kind of miss it in a sick way.
