ADP Ingeniérie (ADPI) and
Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) unveil the concept design for the world’s largest
airport passenger terminal - the Beijing New Airport Terminal Building - in
Daxing, Beijing…
Winning the 2011
international competition bid, in October 2014, the collaborative efforts of
ADPI and ZHA offices have emerged with an optimized concept design for Beijing’s
new airport building.
With Beijing’s existing
Capital Airport already exceeding its planned capacity, the new airport proposes
to serve the world’s fastest growing aviation sector and enable further
connections between Beijing and cultural, economic and civic centres around the
globe.

Set to accommodate approx.
45 million passengers per year, the new terminal will be adaptable and
sustainable, operating in many different configurations dependant on varying
aircraft and passenger traffic throughout each day. With an integrated
multi-modal transport centre featuring direct links to local and national rail
services including the Gaotie high speed rail, the new Daxing airport will be a
key hub within Beijing’s growing transport network and a catalyst for the
region’s economic development, including the city of Tianjin and Hebei
Province.
The signature flourish of
the ZHA design along with the principles originally developed during the
competition phase by ADPI and the Zaha Hadid Consortium Group herald the new
terminal at Daxing to be the world’s most convenient, sustainable and
future-proof airport.
I am writing a term paper on this topic and came across your post which was very helpful. Do you know where I can find more information about this?
