Buengkan Airport, Domestic Airport in Buengkan Province, Thailand

Airport design aims for efficiency, economy, and safety standards in airports but often neglects ecological features, resulting in a tabula rasa that replaces the existing nature and cultural landscape. The current design proposal for "Buengkan Airport" overlays a nature-agricultural area with streams, rubber plantations, and livelihoods. We explore the mutualism between airport design and local features, engagement with circular material, and symbiosis between terminal and agricultural activities. The main idea critiques the TOR project and the interaction between environmental stakeholders and the airport. The rubberwood production cycle integrates sustainable structural and maintenance practices. The new "Buengkan Airport's role extends beyond transportation to serve as a natural agricultural tourist attraction, strengthening both the airport and the local economy. It functions as both the arrival and departure tourist destination for Buengkan province.
