Abstract

How can an airport be designed to be sustainable, highly efficient, economical and a destination for people to travel to? Often an airport is the first thing people see when traveling to a new place, and all too often the airport is overlooked in terms of serving as a destination. How could sustainable architecture help create an airport seen in the eyes of its users as a destination place? How could the airport serve as a gateway to a new destination and connect the surrounding area to the rest of the world? How could a sustainable airport facility create a positive change on the way future facilities are designed?
