INTRODUCTION FOR AIRPORT TERMINAL DESIGN

Airports considered the Gateway of every country, is one of the most neglected Infrastructure developments in the Philippines. Airports measured as the reflection of the countrys economic and cultural background should have been part of the priority of our Government in the Modernization program. I believed that Modernization as an Investment equals to our Countries growth and will achieve our aims in the campaign for tourism. Having tag as having the most Worst Airport in the world mirrors the kind of people we are presenting to the other Nations. Being humiliated by outsider during my studies abroad on the conditions of our airports post a challenge to me in my interest in learning more about Airports Design & its Services. To All my future colleague, I am glad that We share the same interest of the Airport design through your thesis. By: Ar. Willie Y. Chua aci,aia,usgbc,uap

AIRPORT DESIGN DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUNDS

Airport Terminal Design is a very complex in terms of the design procedures. Architects Skills and long field of experience in design are not the passport of being able to Design an Airport terminal. Basic Principle and long list of studies and requirements needed shall be considered from outside the Terminal ( Ground or Air )

THREE ELEMENTS OR PARTS OF AN AIRPORT

Three important considerations that may affect the design process of a Terminal. These three elements are inter-connected to each other and will dictate the design limitation of the project. AIRSPACE AIRSIDE LANDSIDE

AIRSIDE
The most secured part of an Airport and most highly regulated . It is an area for aircraft movement and operation. Occupied 80% of the total land area of an Airport

3/1/2014

AIRSIDE
AIRSIDE Design consideration: Topography verify the Landscape and the community zoning of the area. o Mountains and Volcano o Existing roads and River o Farm o Environmentally / ECO protected area

AIRSIDE
Existing Infrastructure O Industrial Factories, Power plant, High Tension Tower cable, Pipeline , Drainage & Sewage system. o Community Hospital, School, Residence, Military camp, Commercial building

AIRSIDE
Airside are composed of the ff: Runway o The most important part of an Airport o Must be oriented in the direction of a prevailing wind.

3/1/2014

AIRSIDE
Taxiway o This is the Connection between the Runway and Apron, serves as the Taxi route / Aircraft rolling for the departing and arriving aircraft to and from the Apron & Runway. o A taxiway is a path on an airport connecting runways with ramps, hangars, terminals and other facilities. They mostly have hard surface such as asphalt or concrete, although smaller airports sometimes use gravel or grass.

AIRSIDE
Apron o Parking and staging area of Aircraft. Located adjacent to the Terminal building or Hangars o serves for loading and un-loading for passenger and cargo o circulation space for service vehicles and equipment - cargo - catering services - fuel tank truck

3/1/2014

AIRSIDE
Other Infrastucture This are the structures and Facilities that has a direct access to the Runway. o Control Tower o Hangar o Airline catering building o Rescue & Fire fighting building o Maintenance building o Cargo / Freight companies building o General aviation Companies o Flying schools o Military camp

CONTROL TOWER
A SERVIC E PROVIDED BY GROUND -B ASED CONTROLLER S WHO DIRECT AIRCRAF T ON THE GROUND AND THRO UG H CONTRO L L E D AIRSP AC E , AND CAN PROVIDE ADVIS O RY SERVIC E S TO AIRCR AF T IN NON -CON TRO L L E D AIRSP AC E .

HANGAR
A HANGAR IS A CLOSED STRUCTURE TO HOLD AIRCRAFT OR SPACECRAFT IN PROTECTIV E STORAGE.

3/1/2014

LANDSIDE
o The part of an Airport farthest from the Runway and Aircraft movement. o The boundary of which the security check and customs, passport control and other service facilities.

LANDSIDE
Landside may composed of the ff: a. Airport Terminal b. Airline Company Office buildings c. Hotels d. Convention Center e. Bus or Transportation Terminal f. Train Station g. Parks and Re-creational facilities h. Government Building ( Aviation agency ) i. Shopping mall j. Others

AIRPORT TERMINAL

AIRPORT TERMINAL
WHAT IS AN AIRPORT TERMINAL? Is a building where passengers transfer between ground and the facilities that allow them to board a disembark from Aircraft.

DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF AN AIRPORT

DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF AN AIRPORT

HUB Serves as a transfer point of different airlines to get passenger to their intended destination. Serves as stop-over of a long haul flight of Different Airline for check-up, re-fueling and aircraft maintenance. Shopping Center and a Life style airport

DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF AN AIRPORT

POINT TO POINT Airport that serves to a direct flight travel. This Airport are usually use as a Home base for an airlines companies. LOW COST Is it also known as the secondary or alternative airport, This type of airport is also known as the airport for the masses. Airport serves the Budget Airline companies.

DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF AN AIRPORT

MAIN GATEWAY An Airport that serves as the main entry point to a country by being the primary arrival and Departure point.

DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF AN AIRPORT

CHARTERED This is a Mini Airport owned by private chartered companies for private chartered flight. This type of Airport for Executive ( As we call it offers a VIP service enables a travelers to bypass the hassle of a public airport and airline services. LEISURE A Small Airport that primary users are Tourist and vacationers .

DIFFERENT CLASSIFICATION OF AN AIRPORT

CARGO Airport that is intended only for Cargo activities and movement
