| DESIGN NAME: SZ Int'l Satellite Concourse PRIMARY FUNCTION: Airport INSPIRATION: Besides seamless travelling, what we created in the Shenzhen Airport Satellite Concourse is an entertaining and delightful experience for passengers, a new benchmark and the future for aviation architecture. Based on the design brief and extensive research, the optimized X-shape plan configuration for the Satellite Concourse allows smooth and efficient airfield operations and creates a delightful travel experience for passengers by means of the short walking distance. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport Satellite Concourse is a key step in the expansion project of one of the most important aviation hubs in South China. The Satellite Concourse will support the growing needs of the airport and serve up to 22 million passengers per annum. Arranged on the airport’s central axis with Terminal 3 and the future Terminal 2, the buildings are efficiently connected by the Automated People Mover system, as well as the baggage handling and goods delivery systems. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The satellite concourse also incorporates two outdoor landscaped viewing platforms, overlooking the Shenzhen cityscape and Pearl River estuary. This, along with the numerous innovative green features, has justly earned the Satellite Concourse its GBEL Three-Star Certification. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project completed in December 2021 in Shenzhen, China. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The signature streamlined elliptical section gives the concourse its unique apprerance and spatial character. The layout of the roof skylights bring natural light deep into the heart of the building. The dynamic external facade shading devices vastly reduce heat gain and, in tandem with internal shading systems, contribute significantly to energy saving. By employing advanced software optimization, the shading devices were organized into four modular types to save cost and allow rapid construction.
