LAX color tunnels

[5][6][7][8][9] The tiles were produced by Alfonso Pardinas of Byzantine Mosaics in San Francisco.[9] Seven color tunnels were created for LAX, as of 2023[update], three remain open to the public:[10][11] The tunnel connecting Terminal 3 rotunda with Baggage Claim has been closed since 2020 as part of a terminal reconstruction project.[12] The color tunnel connecting Terminal 2 and its baggage claim area was demolished to construct the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility to process arriving international passengers.[11][13] The hallways with their extensive tile-mosaic walls have appeared in a number of films and television programs,[9] sometimes as symbolic funnels or liminal spaces.[2] In 2013, a Portland, Oregon company called The Athletic produced color-blocked tile-mosaic mural LAX Airport Socks.
