The authorities of Saudi Arabia have decided to build a new generation airport. The Foster+Partners studio became the winner of the competition for the development of the terminal project for the Abha airport. The designers were inspired by the architecture of the surrounding villages and decided to use local materials.

This prominent architectural office plans to completely transform the modern airport. The project involves the construction of buildings of different heights, which will interact with a system of courtyards, paths and green areas.

Inside the buildings, a thermal regulation system has been implemented, which is typical for the region: stone walls and diffused daylight will help to maintain a pleasant coolness. The project is based on the principle of modularity, which will allow rapid expansion of the infrastructure. In the future, the airport can grow along with the increase in the flow of passengers.
