INTRODUCTION
The Suvarnabhumi Airport is constructed
on a greenfield site 24 km east
of Bangkok. The first phase,
accommodating 45 million annual
passengers will include 56 contact gates
and 64 hardstand positions with 563,000
SM of terminal facilities. Planned
maximum capacity after phased
expansion will be 120 million annual
passengers.
The masterplan utilizes a terminal/pier
concept that emphasizes passenger
circulation over aircraft circulation.
ROOF DETAILS
A large roof trellis structure placed over the complex
of functionally separate buildings unifies the site and
provides the predominant architectural image as
approached from the landside. Designed to
accommodate future growth of the terminal pavilion,
the trellis serves an important function by shading
the structures below from direct sunlight, thereby
reducing mechanical loads.
