Currently under construction, is the Terminal 3 expansion at the Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport.
Italian Architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas won the opportunity to design this impressive structure via a 2008 design competition. The 400,000 square meter addition will make the airport the fourth largest in china following Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The continuous, undulating - clear span roofing system is composed of tubular steel space frames, supporting an outer curtain wall skin of glass and steel pre-fabricated panels.
The fluid honeycomb structure is designed to maximize the interior space and to allow for natural light and unencumbered movement. Visitors will experience a protective shell wrapping an unrestricted open space environment.
