Architecture+DesignSummary: The world today is experiencing a boom in travel, with greater connectivity and ease of mobility than ever before. Subsequently, travel comfort and infrastructure are also expanding parallelly. Thus, a coalescence of form and functionality through architectural interventions has become the key to better transit architecture.
The new and modern Integrated Terminal Building at Agartala Airport was designed keeping in mind the local architecture, art and heritage of the state of Tripura. The design manifest in the sweeping roof profile that envelops the entire terminal spanning across 30,000 sq m, and procures its form from the hilly terrain of the state. The intent was to create an overall free-flowing terminal that would be simple and easy to construct, while being a perfect mix of ecological infrastructure, art and building technology. The focus was also on the use of advanced Intelligent
Building Management Systems to optimise the consumption of energy. The planning approach for the terminal is based on airport procedure and passenger flow, integrated with landscaping and retail to increase user experience and at the same time, ease movement within the building.
