My final design proposal for a new and re-imagined Gold Coast Airport design in Queensland, Australia.
The design focuses on integrating the airport with the surrounding city along the linear fashion of the coast through an internal tram connection.
Furthermore, the primary concept of the design ensures a greater sense of uniqueness for the airport in the Gold Coast by integrating nature through uninterrupted views of the newly proposed parklands and beach along Coolangatta.
Internally the design allows for the greater anticipated passenger numbers for the next half century, with the opportunity to expand. As well as internal functions that encourage not only passengers, but also the local commonuity to work, shop and be entertained on a day to day basis.
I believe this model serves as a unique Airport city model and is intentionally created for the Gold Coast. In this regard, we create a more personal public and functional design as opposed to a generic, clinical airport model.
