Hong kong airport
As the only airport in Hong Kong, Hong Kong New International Airport was put into operation on July 6th, 1998. It constitutes a spectacular gateway to Hong Kong, and its huge, light and elegant image is impressive. At the same time, it is very friendly and cordial. Although it is the largest airport in the world, its scale does not give people the feeling of fear or shock. The design endows it with the characteristics of being easy to understand and accessible: solemn rather than overwhelming.
The new airport continues and develops the design theory initiated by Foster when he built Stansted Airport, the third largest airport in London, in 199 1. Its features include: lighting the roof, freeing the equipment space, making extensive use of natural light, and uniformly arranging environmental climate control equipment and luggage handling and transportation facilities under the central hall to make the streamline and movement in the building as free as possible.
The natural scenery around the new airport is very spectacular. Passengers can enjoy the vast external scenery anywhere in the airport. The minimum height of the glass surface is more than 4 meters, and all kinds of obstacles in the visual range are removed to reduce the landscape occlusion. The design emphasizes the use of the surrounding environment to guide far beyond the airport building itself: passengers can see the distant land, sea, roads, bridges and planes taking off and landing. This consideration is quite different from the practice of using closed "boxes" or passages in many airports, and travel has become a pleasant process.
