2024 Fall Issue of Urban Land - 66

Intended to relieve
pressure on the Indira
Ghandi International
Airport in Delhi, Noida
International Airport
(2023) was designed
by an international JV
team led by Nordic
Office of Architecture,
together with Haptic
Architects and
Grimshaw.
design, some emphases have changed since
the airport boom began 20 years ago.
In the early years, designers aimed mostly
for drama, " to make buildings with a wow
factor . . . because that was something lacking
in India, " says Shah's son and colleague,
Gurpreet Singh Shah, principal architect and
urban designer for the Creative Group in
New Delhi. He notes, though, that in the past
decade, airport developers also learned how
to design terminals that required minimal
maintenance and were more environmentally
sustainable.
Many Indian airports are designed now with
sustainability in mind. Terminal 2 of the Kempegowda
International Airport, in Bengaluru
(formerly Bangalore), for instance, is Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design
(LEED) Platinum certified and powered with
green energy, some of it locally generated.
Other resources are also being carefully
conserved. For Kempegowda, Grant Associates,
a British landscape architecture firm,
designed a sustainable drainage system to
collect and conserve rainwater, making the

entire 63-acre (25.5 ha) terminal waterpositive,
despite its extensive gardens.
" The wider airport master plan has been
designed to capture, treat, and reuse the
rainwater that falls. The terminal and adjacent
multimodal transport hub were designed to
capture and reuse rainwater that falls within its
catchment, and the terminal's indoor planting
and outdoor gardens are designed to utilize
that water, " says Andrew Haines, senior associate
landscape architect at Grant Associates.
In Noida, Tata Projects is creating runways
using a patented material from Nanogence, a
chemical additive that reduces cement needs
by as much as 20 percent, a dramatic drop in
the embodied carbon of a project as massive
as an airport.
Apart from an interest in seeing their own
culture and heritage in their terminals, Charanjit
Shah doesn't see much difference in what
Indian travelers are looking for versus travelers
anywhere else. " It's not that Indians are looking
for something very specific, " he says. " No,
we are global now. "
