2. Guelmim Airport
GUELMIM, MOROCCO
Calling itself the " Gateway to the Sahara, " the city of Guelmim in
southern Morocco has a hot desert climate. On land that previously
accommodated a military base, the new Guelmim Airport relies on
design strategies to minimize heat while still letting in plenty of
natural light. The building consists of a long, linear glass box in two
double-height volumes, one for departures, the other for arrivals.
Sandwiched between
the two is an accessible
patio garden shielded by
stretches of white tensile
fabric that filter sunlight.
A protective skin of
perforated metal panels
surrounds the glass
box to provide shade.
The designers, Rabat,
Morocco-based Groupe
3 Architectes, drew on
the geometrical patterns
common in the region to
give the panels a range
of desert colors, from red
to brown to ochre, and
by offsetting each panel
3. Harvey Milk Terminal 1
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA
San Francisco International Airport embarked on a large-scale renovation
and expansion of its aging 1960s-era Terminal 1 to improve
functionality, reflect the Bay Area, and embody high levels of sustainability.
Opened in 2019, the first phase includes a nine-gate
section of Boarding Area B as well as Terminal 1 Center, which has
pre-security spaces, a central concourse with an art gallery and
food halls, and a new mezzanine linking to ground transportation.
The facility includes an exhibit dedicated to the life of San Francisco
supervisor Harvey Milk, a civil and human rights leader who
became one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United
States in 1977.
Expansive electrochromic glass tints automatically to reduce
heat gain and glare. A sophisticated baggage-handling system cuts
energy use in half and offers superior tracking and traceability. Terminal
1 is also the nation's first to achieve the Fitwel " Best in Building
Health " award for its strategies to enhance occupants' health
and well-being. Two design-build teams worked on the renovation:
Oakland-based Hensel Phelps, with a design team led by Gensler/
Kuth Ranieri Joint Venture, handled the Terminal 1 Center portion;
San Francisco-based Austin-Webcor Joint Venture with a design
team led by HKS-Woods Bagot-ED2-KYA Joint Venture architects handled
Boarding Area B.
slightly, minimizing the building's visual mass and producing a
patchwork effect reminiscent of the region's woven textiles. The airport
was completed in 2018 for the Moroccan Airports Authority.
