"A resting passenger sleeps on a specially-designed circular couch near airport gates during his layover transit period at Heathrow airport's Terminal 5. The man has jet lag after a long-haul flight across continents and now needs to re-adjust to British Summer time (BST). Vast sheets of window glass lets in natural daylight in this tranquil area where travellers can remain largely undisturbed from the otherwise hectic airport terminal created by the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners). From writer Alain de Botton's book project ""A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary"" (2009)."
