How is the Hajj Terminal ?

Every year hundreds of thousands of Muslims converge on Mecca to perform the Hajj, the pilgrimage that is a duty of their faith.
Designed to host this influx, the Hajj terminal at Saudi arabia's King Abdul Aziz international airport is strikingly modern, open air tent village covering 120 acres. Most buildings hold their structure up by the weight of things pushed together—stacked bricks and joists, for example.
But the Hajj terminal relies instead on tension, the force created when things are pulled apart.
In the roofs of the Hajj terminal, vast swatches of lightweight, flexible, teflon-coated fibreglass fabric are suspended in cone shapes on taut steel cables.
