1. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport
Architects: Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill
Year : 1942

The architects hit on this eye-

catching solution (along with
decorative motifs in the flooring
and fixtures) by observing and
consulting with Mumbai-based
designers and craftspeople.
From a vast wall covered in the
work of local artists, to a multi-
tier plan for sorting traffic, to
exquisitely careful siting that
minimizes disruptions to nearby
residents, SOM’s project brings
together technology and
ambiance in an original, organic
synthesis.

Architects: Hafeez Contractor
Year : 2010

Featuring a glass and metal frame

structure, the terminal has spacious
interiors and features arts and
graphical designs that showcase

3. KEMPEGOWDA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Architects: Skidmore, Owings &
Merrill
Year: 2008

The scheme is inspired by

Bengaluru’s history as a “Garden
City,” recalling the area’s expansive
parks and plantings which has
recently declined due to
urbanization.
The terminal’s shopping area will
connect the gates to a vast, three-
story “forest belt” designed to
create an immersive, calming
outdoor experience for passengers.
The forest belt is visible from all key
indoor spaces from arrival gate to
baggage claim, where material
palettes are designed to work in
concert with the natural landscape,
be it brick, natural terrazzo, or
engineered bamboo.

giving travellers a glimpse of
Odisha's rich culture. The new
terminal also has food kiosks, gift
shops, book shops, handloom, art
galleries and handicraft kiosks. The
