Yep, that just about sums it up. Whomever designed the building leaving all those horizontal areas exposed no doubt either disregarded the build up of dust completely, or assumed the building owner woud put a suitable cleaning procedure and schedule in place to keep the surfaces clean.
Makes you feel quite queasy when you realise much of the dust is probably dead skin-cells from all the passengers who have passed through the terminal, so simply blowing it off the ledges onto the floor, and/or any other surfaces below, may not seem a desirable solution – probably need to vacuum and damp-wipe it all away, and then repeat the process every three or six months to prevent it building up again.
Perhaps all those “trendy” exposed beams/surfaces suddenly seem a little less attractive when you see what is collecting on top of them…:(

Architects, Engineers and Maintenence should all be singing from the same ‘Hymn Sheet’ when new structures are put up that the public have to use for many years to come.
Maintenence is a forgotten allocation on most budgets – sad but true
