Changchun Longjia International Airport new terminal design details
HASSEL Studio proposed a design for the new terminal planned to be constructed with a built-up area of 120,000m². The design is inspired by the native rose species of Changchun. The rose-shaped terminal will offer enough space for passenger flow and areas around the airport.
The terminal will feature elevated pedestrian bridges that will lead passengers into the check-in hall from vehicle drop-off zones. The access road to the terminal will feature a curved glass with a canopy on one side and local tress on the other side. The exterior elements of the design will continue into the interiors of the terminal.
There will be an internal garden close to the entrance, which will display greenery throughout the year. The entrance will also feature a drape-style roof surface and serve as lamp that draws light into the terminal. The entrance area will also have skylights augmented with integrated artificial lighting, which will glow all times of the day. The design enables further expansion of the terminal based on the city’s requirements.
The completion of Terminal 2 is expected to increase the number of international flight routes from the terminal to 70.
