The airport is designed to stand as the first pleasant and simple memory and landmark by being the main gateway to the area. It welcomes the passengers with a simple, bright, and transparent passage that creates a sculpture-like image within light and shadows. The planning scheme is based on the most basic and effective operational standards and passenger flow. The easy and effortless orientation of the flow with transparency and visual continuity offers controlled but easy access between the open and secured places. The terminal is designed to offer visual connection between indoor and outdoor areas that provide visually and physically enjoyable and comfortable spaces within optimum sizes.
The main structural system consists of repeating steel beams carrying the semi-transparent roof. It covers both the main terminal area and the main traffic access area of the building as a structural canopy. The light and shadow through the structural skeleton define and enrich the spaces during the day. The selection of basic indoor materials supports the conceptual image of the building.
From major planning decisions to minor constructional preferences, the design of the airport supports an economically effective system for long-term with sustainable systems and material choices. In terms of sustainability, the use of sunlight and rainwater implementations and passive and active mechanical systems are executed.
