AIRPORT ARCHITECTURE

Building concept Organic analogy is used as a primary design that comes to form one part of the general aesthetics of functionalism. The idea that an artifact which is well-designed and adapted for its purpose will be seen in the design. The terminal roof edifice is derived from the organic bone form of an eagle’s wing and the structural element of the column is being redefined as an organic form of the wing’s bone arrangement which mirrors flexibility and strength as it carries the roof that is like a feather which is lightweight and blends with the air, it’s arrangement which is overlapping, allows light to shine throughout the interior spaces of the whole terminal building.

Anatomical analogy is characterized as organic architecture which will create an ecological atmosphere giving a feeling of relaxation and leisure throughout their stay in the airport.
