Dubai unveils new landmarks! The architectural design of the world's largest airport has been announced, and the construction is expected to be completed in 10 years!
The government of Dubai, the Middle Eastern country, has decided to expand Al Maktoum International Airport in the east of the country into the world's largest airport. The project will invest $32.5 billion and plan more than 400 gates and five runways. In addition to freight, it is expected to handle up to 260 million passengers per year. Take over Dubai International Airport, located 45 kilometres east of Downtown Dubai, becoming the largest airport in the world. The Austrian-based architectural firm Blue Sky Group, in collaboration with a team of engineers Bollinger + Grohmann, was tasked with the design of Al Maktoum International Airport, and their proposed new airport building pushes the boundaries of design language, incorporating new structural solutions and energy concepts to create a cutting-edge facility that meets the needs of global citizens.
One of the key design elements of the new airport is its dynamic structural force, which enables a large span of the roof. This innovative approach results in a seamless, open design that creates an atmosphere of generosity and spaciousness within the terminal.
The design of the organic form of the roof is reminiscent of a "white spaceship", and the Blue Sky Group describes the design as "an optimised building geometry that combines various design considerations such as daylight, solar, wind, structural and curvature analysis", and also reflects Dubai's traditional cultural symbols, which are a combination of traditional design elements and contemporary materials.
The new airport is expected to be completed in 2032 and officially operational from 2034.
