3. An Airport Terminal
  An Airport comprises many varied structures that facilitate passenger
and cargo movement, maintenance, and aircraft control, and other
structures that provide for auxiliary support functions.
 The design involves planning volumes of airport terminal spaces
functionally and aesthetically, reducing the delay in time taken during
checking and security processes and other design considerations
meeting the current and future passenger usage per annum by
providing master plans.
 Overall increasing the efficiency of volumes with support facilities, By
virtue turning into a Landmark for migration with in and out the
nation.
