DETAIL Project of the Month — September 2008
Abstract:
At more than 3 km long, the new Terminal 3 at Beijing Capital International Airport is one of the world’s largest buildings. It will accommodate fifty million passengers per year by 2020. Despite the vast scale, the clearly organised symmetrical floor plan helps passengers orientate themselves. The building fans out at either end to accommodate large halls: located in the south is Terminal T3A for national flights; in the north, T3B for international destinations.
