New Generation of Regional Airport Terminal Buildings: Architectural Design and Innovative Paths
Details
This book focuses on small-and medium-sized regional airport terminals, and is divided into seven chapters: Chapter 1 "Introduction" puts forward the classification of airport system, the definition of regional airports, and the types of regional airport terminals in China; Chapter 2 "Planning" provides an overview of airport layout, as well as the basics of flight area and terminal area including terminal building configuration, boarding bridges, landside transportation organization, and parking lot and holding area design; Chapter 3 "Functions" focuses on the functional composition of terminal building, passenger flows, and design outlines of the functional zones in terminal building, including the entrance, departure/arrival hall, check-in and ticketing area, security check-point/joint inspection area, boarding lounge, boarding gate, baggage claim hall, baggage handling area, VIP lounge, etc.; Chapter 4 "Spatial Composition" focuses on the one-and-a-half-story terminal, discussing several types of spatial combination and their spatial scale; Chapter 5 "Innovation" explains the problems of China's regional airport terminal design, puts forward the necessity of design innovation, and studies 31 excellent cases of regional airport terminal in China and other countries, summarizing innovative design approaches in terms of external form, internal experience, and detailed construction; Chapter 6 "Tendency" divides the development of China s regional airports into four eras of function, style, culture, and experience, and puts forward the concept of the "new generation (for the Era of Experience) of terminal building design," and further elaborates in detail how to design such terminal buildings based on practice of several Chinese regional airports participated by the author's team; Chapter 7 "Summary" presents innovative concepts and methods of terminal design for regional airports in the "Era of Experience," as well as five dimensions for evaluating the innovativeness of terminal design.
