Architecture+DesignSummary: The integrated terminal is an elegant modern structure defined by a high-tech aerodynamic building offering a smooth transition to its passengers from the flight to the city. Its organic form deriving its genesis from an ‘avian’ is conceived with a sliced dome at the centre and multiple wings elevating the roof profile towards the sky. The slicing of the roof profile maximizes the daylight, while emitting light in the sky making it visible at night.
Structure: The iconic roof of the structure formulated is a resultant of the strenuous task requiring the design and assimilation of more than 14,500 tubular members. The curvilinear roof spanning 120m, boasting a maximum clear span of 39m flanking a 12m cantilever at airside creates a unique floating effect. Each primary truss is supported by steel columns with flaring arms on each end having gained the name of ‘tree columns’. These are spanned at an interval of 17m, supporting the space frame.
