The pros competed against the amateurs for cash prizes in “spot battles” including highest wall jump and longest slide—aided by the airport’s marble flooring. Pro skater Margie Didal, who hails from Cebu City, Philippines, traveled to New Orleans for the first time to participate in Terminal Takeover. Thursday afternoon, Critical Frequency Design hosted a ribbon-cutting event for its new 20,000-square-foot headquarters in the NASA Commerce Center business park, south of Melbourne Orlando International Airport. Attendees took tours inside, but photos were not permitted because of security concerns. In the meantime, the agency plans to compile more data on ridership projections, cost estimations and travel time for each scenario.

The airport served 80.9 million passengers in 2016, while the annual traffic is expected to reach more than 96 million by 2030. The modernisation programme was initiated by the LAX operator Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) in 2009 and is anticipated to create more than 120,000 jobs a year and boost the Los Angeles economy. Guests are encouraged to use the different areas as they desire, whether joining Zoom calls in cossetted booths, dining or having a drink, or kicking back on luxe seating by the likes of Francesco Favaretto, Monica Förster, and Nendo before their flights. Some spaces are more intimate, like the areas demarcated by glass partitions around the perimeter of the lounge.

The space is devoid of any blatant branding—there’s intentionally only hints of Chase’s signature blue. Instead, warm illumination, natural materials, and soft furnishings create a calming environment to unwind, regroup, and make merry ahead of an onward journey. At the center of the lounge, a large circular bar is conceived as a beacon and a place to gather. It’s fitted with bespoke brass taps, exquisitely tailored stools, and a quartzite countertop, and crowned with halo-like rings, evoking a “chandelier, or an amazing piece of jewelry,” Leanne Fremar, JPMorgan Chase chief brand officer, suggests. “It’s the very first thing people look for, a helpful wayfinding element,” Gee DiFurio adds. The de-stress process begins upon arrival, when guests are greeted by agents, then guided through a low corridor before emerging into a bright double-height volume—a sequence that exaggerates the feeling of compression and then opens up, explains Taglione.

In the design for the new airport UNStudio embraces this architectural concept in order to manifest Georgia’s young and dynamic democracy. The LAX modernisation programme also includes modernisation of some of the passenger terminals at the airport. The airport has a total of 25,000 parking spaces, including 8,000 slots in the central terminal and 11,000 in the long-term parking areas.

Neither party should overpower the other and all levels of involved personnel, from designers, operators and airlines, “right down to the trolley team”, have to be included in conversation. While still a member of Architects Declare, Foster + Partners was forced to defend the sustainable credentials of its glazed terminal building at Marseille Provence Airport after being challenged by France's Autorité Environnementale. Foster + Partners is aiming for this airport, under construction in the Saudi desert to serve the huge Red Sea Project tourist development, to achieve a LEED Platinum sustainability rating and be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy. Its exposed modular structure reduced waste during construction and means the building can be easily disassembled, recycled or extended in the future. Large V-shaped columns made from locally sourced timber will form the main structure of the terminal, while wood will also be used for the floors and ceilings reflecting Switzerland's alpine buildings.
Scheduled to be completed by 2025, the LAMP will create a direct connection between public transit and automated people mover (APM) station. A staircase sweeps up to the mezzanine, past a mix of live and faux plants cascading over the balconies, to a quieter space for reading and relaxation. From this level, also reachable via elevator, guests can access a trio of resort-inspired private suites offering such spa-like details as tiled baths, generous vanities, and rain showers “as if they were in a five-star hotel,” Fremar describes. The suites offer “everything you need to get ready for your destination,” she adds, noting that these facilities must be pre-booked in advance. The total area of the passenger terminals is 3.8 million square feet and that of the cargo terminals is about two million square feet.
Madrid-Barajas Airport Terminal 4 – Estudio Lamela & Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners
Completed in 2008, the terminal extension of the Marrakech Menara Airport in Morocco—designed by Swiss Architects E2A Architecture—uses a gorgeous facade that has become a hallmark of the airport. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Mumbai’s Terminal 2 building opened in 2014 to accommodate the city’s growing influx of visitors. A gigantic roof canopy references the form of vernacular Indian pavilions and is the centerpiece of the design. The ideal runway length is based on aircraft type, maximum take-off weight, engine performance, landing and braking performance, flap position, and required safety features. Having compiled an inventory of airport assets and examined their current state, planners may now assess whether or not the airport can handle the anticipated influx of passengers. With this in mind, we caught up with Mike Davies, founding partner and senior director at Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, to find out more about where airport designers have been improving their methods and adding new considerations into designs.
Denver International Airport
To accommodate growth for the airline’s service, the VCE terminal was made to extend capacity to 15 million passengers a year. At the same time, the project needed to respect the historic fabric of Venice and the city’s fragile lagoon ecosystem. ZGF Architects has shared a new look at the main terminal of the Portland International Airport (PDX) in Oregon.
The airport has a highly efficient passive design, which has been inspired by local traditions, and is based on a flexible modular solution that allows for future expansion – the new building secures the city’s position as the main hub for the Levant region. In response to Amman’s climate, where summer temperatures vary markedly between day and night time, the building is constructed largely from concrete, the high thermal mass of the material providing passive environmental control. The tessellated roof canopy comprises a series of shallow concrete domes, which extend to shade the facades. Existing parking structures were to be demolished to make way for the expanded facility, with an intermodal centre at the southeast corner linking light rail and buses to 14,600 additional parking spaces.
After the public comment period ends May 1, UTA plans to refine a preferred concept by the end of August. Otherwise, the route matches the first proposed design, including realignment for the red line to serve the Granary District, and changes to the westernmost destinations for the green and blue lines. In UTA’s first proposed design, the orange line would extend from the campus to the airport via the existing Salt Lake Central Station. The public can comment on the design options through May 1, though transit times and cost estimates aren’t yet available for all the proposed routes. Aimed to increase terminal operations and passenger comfort, the MSC North facility will feature 12 wide-body gates, which are connected with moving walkways from TBIT through a 1,000ft tunnel corridor. A new runway status lighting system worth $7m has been installed to increase airfield safety.

After Eyjafjallajökull volcano erupted in Iceland back in 2010, the country feared it would impact travel. Instead, travelers from around the world flooded into Iceland, and in turn, there was a need to expand Keflavik airport once again. The new terminal the team designed the expansion to accommodate a system where passengers move to and from the aircrafts by remote stands.
The vertical movement of passengers is located between the canyons to indicate the sequence of actions that the passenger needs to carry out as per airport formalities. Often known for the best airport designs in the world, the Changi Airport at Singapore designed by the master architect Moshie Safdie is one of the largest transportation hubs in Southeast Asia. To accommodate the increasing traffic of air travel, terminal 3 (change airport) was constructed. What makes it more unique, is the combination of the two environments – a marketplace and a paradise garden creating a community-centric typology of heart and soul.
Although much smaller than many airports on this list with about two million passengers annually, Samui Airport is notable for its open-air design and use of local materials like palm wood, and rattan. The first airport project designed by Rome-based architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas, the new Terminal 3 building at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport in China was built to look like a manta ray from above. Opened in 1994 to relieve overcrowding at Osaka International Airport, Kansai International Airport was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano.
In addition to utilizing different systems, staff would be required to undergo sessions of training to understand the new protocols and functions of a sustainable airport. Additionally, because there aren’t many airports that have applied net zero carbon neutral functions, stakeholders tread lightly when it comes to such changes. The second challenge with designing a net zero airport is devising a plan for a site in order to generate the amount of energy that will be needed for the entire airport. Whether the energy is generated by a solar powered field that is on-site, or not, there must be a site somewhere to offset the emissions. The same process would likely be required to reach the goal of becoming a carbon neutral building as well. With a growing focus on the environmental impact of aviation, architects are designing a new generation of airports focused on sustainability.
