Abstract
The success and design of airport today is conventionally measured by their efficiency, by its
ability to manage the arrival and departure of planes for the minimum passenger inconvenience.
The focus of the research project however is the design of an airport terminal which involves the
concept of “gateways” as a way of reflecting a nation's unique identity.Moreover the central idea
was to apply the theories of critical regionalism to the architecture of an international airport
terminal so as to develop an iconic place-maker, where travelers share an experience of place and
a sense of belonging.
Therefore the intention is to prepare or perhaps r-imagine the normal processes of an airport
terminal that wil go beyond function as a series of experiences which reflects and authenticate the imagery and the individuality of a region as well as the excitement of flights.
