Shenzhen Airport’s Terminal 3 is one of the largest buildings in the world designed with parametrically controlled digital tools and has an annual capacity of 24 million passengers. In a close collaboration between Massimiliano Fuksas Architects in Rome and the engineers of Knippers Helbig in Stuttgart, specific solutions were developed to provide sufficient structural integrity for the space structure, which is clad by the outer and inner façade layers (see report pp. 24–31).
