M YOUSAF AWANThe 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.
