This is the first book to document the highly innovative Terminal 3
at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport in China, scheduled for
completion in 2013. Shenzhen is one China's most important
industrial locations as well as a very popular tourist destination.
The fast developing city is located in the south of the Guangdong
Province, neighboring the Pearl River delta and Hong Kong. In 2008
the Italian architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas (M Fuksas)
won the international competition for the extension of the airport
with the design of Terminal 3. The book contains never-before-seen
sketches, models, renderings, drawings, and all-new photography of
the building, as well as an interview with the architect.
Collaborating with Fuksas is the engineering firm Knipper Helbig,
who contributes an essay on the engineering and structural approach
of the project. The design of the terminal, which resembles an
airplane from above, caters to the passengers' needs while taking
account environmental and socio-economic factors. The sculptural,
organically shaped steel structure incorporates an innovative
two-layer honeycomb skin which reduces energy consumption and
allows natural light to permeate the space. Specifically designed
to make the most effective use of local resources and built by
local contractors, Shenzhen is the first airport terminal certified
to the National Green Building Star Label in China
