Ahmedabad: At a time when the Centre has announced modernization of Gujarat airports and decided to develop them according to global standards, a city student has come up with a model for an international terminal for Surat airport as an extension of the existing domestic terminal.
In his model, Ajay Mistry of Cept University addresses key aspects of airport design. The challenge was to adopt the architectural language of the existing building to blend the international terminal model with the existing one so that they complement each other.
Traditionally, airports are designed as light-roofed structures with a horizontal, one-dimensional spread. In designing the model for an international terminal, Mistry has visualized a large and grounded structure. During take-off or landing, passengers in a plane will see the terminal as elevated ground.
