Some local conditions are leading to local
variations, though. For example, because
Indian law now mandates that only ticketed
passengers enter the terminal, Peter Lefkovits,
a principal at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill
(SOM), says SOM has included plazas
with extensive food and beverage options
outside the terminal buildings that the firm
has designed in Bengaluru and Mumbai. The
plazas give people plenty of room to greet
arriving travelers, say goodbye, or just enjoy a
meal or an outdoor concert.
Bengaluru's Garden City
Determined to build an airport that would live
up to Bengaluru's " Garden City " nickname, airport
executives commissioned a terminal that
would be a " pavillion within a garden, " recalls
Andrew Haines, a senior associate at Grant
Associates, the lead landscape architects for
the project.
The firm translated the airport executives'
vision into a forest belt 300 feet (100
m) wide, around the 2.5 million square foot
(255,000 sq m) terminal, a garden of roughly
17 acres (7 ha). The garden is home to 7,900
trees and 100,000 shrubs-more than 3,600
plant species in all, including 96 kinds of lotus
alone. The plantings, sourced from many
habitats, showcase the country's rich ecological
diversity. Just in going from check-in to
security, a traveler walks past some 450,000
individual plants, according to Haines.
" The idea was simply that, from the
moment you stepped out of your car to the
moment you got on the plane, you were
meant to be immersed in landscape in different
forms and experiences, " says SOM's
Lefkovits.
To frame those gardens, SOM incorporated
local, natural materials, including bamboo,
locally sourced granite, and locally baked
brick. The project required extensive discussions
with engineers to ensure that the skylights
met the needs of the plants and that
the structure could support the plants' weight.
" It took a lot of collaboration and close coordination, "
Lefkovits says.
For the traveler, the result of all this work is
an unusually calm transit hub. " When you walk
in, it's silent . . . . All you hear is gentle water
in the background, and it kind of echoes
With its twin curved
roofs, the Chennai
International Airport
(2012), designed by
the Creative Group,
was among the first of
India's new generation
of airports.
