. The main components of the design include parking
facilities, a terminal building and a satellite or midfield
terminal building, totalling some one million square metres

daylight to all passenger areas and reduce dependence on
artificial light, while providing views out and reducing solar
gain with extensive external shading.
Public Realm:
The grand scale of the terminal, in particular the canyons
and the main entry hall generate a truly significant public
space for use by all passengers.
