机场设计新颖，采用一系列倾斜的金属拱门和钢梁，为航站楼起伏的屋顶结构提供支撑，并在天空中呈现出独特的轮廓。

在全球豪华航空旅行和中转机机场的竞争中，中场航站楼综合体发挥着至关重要的作用，该中场航站楼综合体年旅客吞吐量将高达8000万，以满足快速扩张的首都发展需求。航站楼设计和工程建设克服了复杂功能所带来的巨大挑战，达到了卓越的技术和材料工艺水平。经过优化的X造型以及宽阔的巨大拱门最大限度地减少了乘客的步行时间。长180米的桥接，大跨度倾斜拱门确保了50米高的无柱出发大厅设计——一个公共中庭，可提供开放的室外空间。

KPF团队采用定制化设计流程，既重视项目的复杂性，又重视项目的细节。起伏的拱门在视觉上与屋顶分离，使建筑看起来更加轻盈，更具质感。通过屋顶优化设计，团队将最初的15万块独特的面板减少至1.5万块。各转弯处均采用了无缝过渡和衔接，例如渐变成家具的地面以及渗透建筑物的景观。

阿布扎比新航站楼的各个楼层都将给乘客带来全新的体验。甚至在某些时刻，人们在转机时会觉得是身在阿布扎比这座城市。在微观层面，寻路标识设计体现了当地文化特色。采用图案而不是数字，这体现了伊斯兰艺术的传统——从地毯到采石场。连续天花材料区别于传统材料，既能反射光线又能降低噪音。

The groundbreaking airport features a series of leaning metal arches and steel beams that support the terminaI’s unduIating roof structure and highIight its dramatic profiIe against the sky.

Dominating a key position in the global race for luxury air travel and transfer points, the Midfield Terminal Complex will process up to 80 million passengers each year to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding capital. The terminal’s design and engineering overcomes significant challenges intrinsic to its complex program, achieving unsurpassed levels of technical and material craft. Its modified, X form minimizes passenger walking times, complemented by sweeping, monumental arches. Each bridging 180 meters, the long-span, leaning arches make possible the nearly column-free, 50-meterhigh space of the Departure Hall – a civic atrium that provides an open, outdoor atmosphere.

KPF’s team engaged in a bespoke design process that valued the project’s incredible complexity equally to its most intricate details. The undulating arches visually separate from the roof,reinforcing the project’s lightweight quality and feel. Originally composed of 150,000 unique panels,the team rationalized the roof down to 15,000 pieces. Seamless transitions – flooring that turns into furniture, landscaping that permeates the building – illustrate careful consideration at every turn.

Passenger experience will be transformed at every level of Abu Dhabi’s new terminal. Certain moments remind the majority of transfers that they are, in fact, in the city of Abu Dhabi. At the micro level, wayfinding elements remain culturally sensitive. Patterns, rather than figures, echo the traditions of Islamic art – carried through from the carpeting to the quarry stone. The continuous ceiling needs to both reflect light and control sound, resolved by challenging conventional material choices.
