Mused by the sunset on a sea of sand, dunes on the horizon with soft curves; the 130,000 m² steel roof with recapping curves wants to slide and come to rest on the concrete. The silk screening on the façade glazing, together with the deep roof overhangs ensures that the terminal interior has maximum protection from harsh light. The inclined façades emphasize the sense of a generous interior space and reinforce the acoustical comfort. Apart being one of the most demanding projects in the world today, tight schedule and need for application of fast construction, requires a highly motivated and dynamic team.
