Dulles Airport
• Architect: Eero Saarinen
• Engineer: the civil engineering firm Ammann and Whitney
• Year: 1962
• Place: Chantilly, VA
• Size: 11,830 acres (47.9km2)
- check-in concourse at Dulles Airport designed by Eero Saarinen and refurbished in 2000 by Skidmore Owings and Merrill
benefits from high levels of natural light
- is regarded by many as the world’s first terminal designed specifically for jet travel
- minimize walking distances and maximize views of the aircraft on adjacent runaways
- As a result there are no columns inside the terminal and to avoid reflections on the glass walls, the perimeter glazing is
angled at about 70 degrees
- the original design was a large two-storey terminal with check-in counters and shops in the centre
- Passengers moved through the building at an elevated level with baggage handling below
- high-speed-people-mover system
- the original terminal was designed for 12 million passenger movements a year. Recent extensions to the Saarinen design plus
the construction of new terminal buildings have increased the capacity to 40 million
- full body scanners
- video recognition software that measures the number of people in line and how long it is taking them to pass through the
checkpoint
- designed by French company Blue Eye Video
JFK Airport
• Architect: Wallace Harrison
• Originally known as Idlewild Aiport
• Year: renamed JFK International Aiport on December 24, 1963
• Place: New York
• Size: 4,930 acres
- key design issues concerned future expansion, flexibility, and clear circulation
- creating an expansive central space with abundant daylight and views of the airport’s activity
- Various permanent artworks enliven the terminal’s interior spaces
- Fully glazed on both landside and airside, the terminal creates a connection between airport, street, and runway
- Linear skylights admit natural light, reinforcing the simplicity and clarity of circulation
- The roof of the departures hall is lightweight, 180-foot-long span; the hall underneath is a column-free space
- The Central Terminal Area includes a central heating and air-conditioning plant.
- Air Traffic Control Tower: 321 foot tower includes state-of-art communications, radar and wind-shear alerty systems
- Aiport scanning technology: transparent victory for terrorism
- Investigation: Runway safety at JFK Airport Friday, February 12, 2010
- found problems with broken runway lights, poor signage, and inadequate training getting worse
- it ranks at the top for runway safety hazards

- geothermal power project
- in the process of installing energy-efficient LED taxiway and holdbar lights
- installation of energy efficient lighting controls, infrared heaters and controls, decommissioning vacant buildings, and decommissioning of a high-
pressure steam plant
- infrared de-icing facility: reduces the amount of deicing fluids used by 90 percent per aircraft
Incheon Airport
• Architect: Terry Farrell and Partners
• Engineer: Thorton Tomasetti
• Year: 2001
• Place: South Korea
• Size: 5 million sq ft
- large transportation centre
- rail, bus, car and taxi services congregate, is directly linked to two new terminal buildings: one for domestic and the other for
international flights
- providing access to the air
- Linked to high-speed train and local train and bus services, they will see many travelers pass through the airport en route to
other destinations.
- the transportation centre provides a memorable bird-like image for weary passengers
- difference in expressions: has a golf course, spa, private sleeping rooms, ice skating rink, a casino, indoor gardens and a
museum
- natural light is admitted via the enormous glazed atrium to all six levels of the Centre.
- the Transportation Centre is constructed (for safety reason) partly below ground, and only the curved roof of the Great Hall
breaks the skyline
- Geometry, openness and light are the main characteristics of the design
- reduces energy use by manipulating the shape and orientation of the building according to the sun’s path
- extensive glazing in walls and roof with solar protection provided by movable louvers
