Program Prompt

The city of Perth has two airports within its region: Jandakot Airport and Perth Airport. Jandakot Airport (JAD) is limited to general aviation and charter flights. Perth Airport (PER) has been ranked Australia’s fourth busiest airport with passengers flying to domestic and international destinations. Due to the region’s economic boom, PER has seen an average 4.5% annual passenger growth over the last 10 years. In 2018, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission listed PER as the best airport in Australia for overall service quality. Future trends project growth in the region’s domestic travel. PER has plans of constructing a new runway along the south-eastern edge of the airport property. PER is proposing an Architectural Services Agreement for the design and construction of a new 12-gate expansion terminal, which is to be adjacent to the new runway, to serve the projected implemented growth. The architect’s scope of work shall include the following: O Site plan indicating scope of work boundaries O Programmatic plans showing the required airport functions and program adjacencies O Floor plans for all building levels required. Floor plans shall include any FF&E required O Architect shall abide by all current IBC and life safety requirements O Structural, MEP and BHS services O Building sections O Building elevations O Building details O Renderings O Physical models, process sketches, parti diagrams, etc. O Research

SITE & CLIMATE / CODES

Build-able Area

Site & Climate / Codes

Perth is located in south-western Australia. Being in the Southern Hemisphere, Perth has reversed sun patterns and seasons in comparison to the United States. The sun shines from the north. The coldest months are July and August. Winters are rainy with an average temperature of 55Â° Fahrenheit. Warm wind from the north can raise the temperature up to 68Â° Fahrenheit. Occasionally, cold air from Antarctica can lower the temperatures to almost freezing. It rains to about 35 inches per year. Most of the rainfall occurs May through September. The summers are dry with an average temperature of 77Â° Fahrenheit. The hottest months are January and February. The days are sunny and the nights are cool. The ocean breeze carries the heat away and occasionally a thunderstorm will bring the temperature down. The site topography is essentially level at an elevation of 66 feet. It is less than 13 miles from the coast. The proposal is to design an additional domestic terminal at the Perth Airport. There are currently parking lots and warehouse buildings. Plans are underway to add a new runway and a new international terminal that will engage the existing terminal perpendicularly. It was decided to proceed as if the international terminal has already been constructed. The intent is to build a new domestic terminal directly adjacent to the existing terminal and attached to the international terminal. The use of several codes that required lines of site and distance from taxi lanes were used to help pick a location. The form of the building contours around the existing circular drive. It is set off the main road to allow for drop off lanes and bus stops. Dividing traffic prevents buses from clogging up the car pick up/drop off lanes. The airport itself is divided in two sections that are mirrors of one another. A baggage claim and ticketing area is located on each end of the airport to also help disperse the traffic. Following the current road will allow maximum room for future expansion to the south and east toward the new runway.

CONCEPT FORMULATION

Concept Formulation

Aboriginal art and the Great Barrier Reef had a large influence on the design. The building incorporates the Aboriginal art within the floor patterning and overall building form. An art gallery in the central space showcases Aboriginal art allowing travellers to enjoy many paintings and a large suspended sculpture. Aquariums are placed throughout the airport to lessen the stress level of travelers while traversing through the bustling environment. Aquariums were strategically placed in areas where passengers may experience the most stress, including the security checkpoint, and in the concourse hold rooms. The Aboriginal art gallery will attract non travellers in addition to providing those waiting for travellers with an activity in the event of delayed flights. The roof form takes inspiration from the overlapping nature of table coral. The tiered roof planes elevated above clerestory windows allow ample natural light to enter the space. The roof form provides an angled surface optimal for the integrated solar panels, while also directing rainwater runoff for collection. Thesis Statement: To create an efficient place of travel that reflects the essence of Australia, while providing a pleasant experience for all.

Our design derives from the following set of sketches. We wanted to keep these main ideas throughout our design process. We took into mind how the sun would hit our building, how it might collect water / other environmental systems, the overlapping of roof plains, and the structure. From these basic ideas, we began to solidify our design.

Form Diagram

Build-able area was determined and the new terminal was positioned in close proximity to the existing terminal.

Influences from Australian Aboriginal art was applied to guide the initial proposed building form.

The overall building form was sculpted to create a more streamlined form.

Inspiration for the roof form was derived from table coral in the Great Barrier Reef.

Programming

The taxiway connects the runways to the taxilanes. This is where aircraft do the majority of their movement on the airfield as they find their runway upon departure, their gate upon arrival, or wait for moving aircraft with a right-ofway to pass. The taxilane connects the taxiways to the aircraft stands. The aircraft stand is a term for where the aircraft parks at a gate and the safety envelope around it. Within and around the safety envelope is where the aircraft gets serviced for air, water, power, provisions, waste, etc. It's also where the aircraft connects to the building via passenger boarding bridges (PBB). The aircraft control tower controls the airspace around the airport as well as the movement of most of the vehicles and aircraft in the airfield from a high vantage point.

Typically along the periphery of the bag claim hall for visibility and access. Farthest from the building.

Between the gate and the taxiways. Immediately outside of the boarding gate.

Anywhere on the airport property with proper line-ofsight to control the aircraft and vehicle movement on the airfield.

This program for the project was organized by Corgan. This firm was there every step of the way in helping design this airport. They were our consultants for more expertise opinion. The idea was to manipulate this base set of program to form something usable and appealing. To avoid backups in pedestrian and vehicular traffic throughout the terminal and drive up lanes, the terminal was divided into two sections. Each section contains a baggage claim, concession area, and ticketing area. This helps to prevent travellers from having to cross paths. It also spreads out the cars along the curbside while providing travelers with shorter distances to walk to where they need to go. Buses have designated lanes beyond the car lanes. There are bus stops located between the car and bus lanes. Placing the bus stops in a center island diverts some of the passengers from lingering on the main curbside. Offering passengers extra space and less crowded conditions will lower their stress and provide a more pleasant experience.

The SIDA line is located horizontally along the building. The way this airport separates the secure and unsecure is through verticality. After the traveller arrives at the airport, they are given the options to enjoy the terminal, or ascend to their gates. After ascending, they will be past security at the airport’s choke point.

ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS

Environmental Systems

Since Perth has beautiful weather with mild temperatures, HVAC loads are minimal. For the terminal it was decided to implement passive strategies in conjunction with a mechanical system for peak days. The form of the building promotes natural ventilation and natural light penetration. The cool ocean breeze coming in from the west can be funneled into the building beneath the first-floor roof plates and exhausted along the roof plate coping. The mechanical system designed for the new airport terminal utilizes displacement ventilation and radiant floor heating and cooling in the large volume spaces, with forced air employed in the restaurants and offices. The air intake for the building is located in the bus stop islands under the benches. There are four underground tunnels that channel the intake air to the units in the basement of the terminal. Air is then diverted through trunk lines that branch and feed each of the hollow columns. The air is dispersed near the floor on each level, and exhausted along the coping of the roof plates. There are pumps and manifolds in the mechanical suite to supply the radiant flooring. The heated and chilled water is drawn from the main airport facilities plant, located directly south of the terminal. Especially during cooling periods, the dehumidifier will need to be used to pull moisture from the air and prevent condensation build up. The length of the cantilevered overhangs of the cantilevered roof plates was calculated to prevent midday summer sun from directly entering the building. The overlapping plates act as light shelves that bounce the natural light into the building. This provides occupants with an abundance of diffuse natural light throughout and saves energy as less artificial lighting is required. The saddle shape of the five main roof plates was derived to collect water as well as provide optimum tilt angles for the integrated solar panels. The collected storm runoff water is used to flush the toilets and irrigate the minimal landscaping surrounding the building.

STRUCTURE & MATERIALS

The structural grid implemented within the design was radial as the form followed the circular drive. The footprint was rationalized with several tangential circles. In the far ends of the terminal, the columns’ radial grid utilizes the center point of the circle that defines the front wall. The typical structural bay is 40’ by 40’. Some of the spans vary anywhere between 30’ and 60’ , but is supported by beams that are able to carry the load of that range.

Matte Silver Rheinzink Panels

9 A large percentage of the flooring throughout the terminal are hard surfaces such as terrazzo and tile. Terrazzo was chosen due to its durability, cleanability, and design freedom. Tile was chosen to be placed in the service areas for the benefits of durability and ease of maintenance and because it is easily removed and replaced. This is beneficial for the service areas as tenants may come and go, which may lead to periodically altering the flooring to match the company branding. Carpet tiles were chosen to go in the hold rooms to help with acoustics and to add a warmer feel. The tile form was chosen over rolls of carpet so small sections can be replaced at a time. Acoustical materials were installed on the columns and ceilings to also aid with the acoustics of the terminal. Most of the materials on the interior of the building are white. This strategy was employed to maximize the natural light reflectivity about the space as well to allow the bright colors of the Aboriginal art and aquariums to stand out. The external materials consist of matte silver Rheinzink roofing and wall panels, SAGE electro chromatic glass curtain walls, and concrete foundation walls and sidewalks. Timeless and durable materials were chosen to eliminate intense maintenance schedules. The metal panels are fabricated to contour and create the desired shape.

Terrazzo Floor

SAGE Electro chromatic Glass

To mitigate the anticipated high reverberation times within the large volume areas in the terminal, materials were chosen with acoustics in mind. It was decided that carpeting was going to be used in the hold rooms and all the columns would be wrapped in SAF Quiet acoustical column covers. The ceiling planes on the main roof plates were designed to be stepped and convex to scatter sound waves that are reflected. The ceiling is finished with BASWA Phon acoustical plaster to further aid in making the acoustics pleasant.
