The Hong Kong Airport Concept

Airport, Hong Kong

The new airport concept should be consolidated with surrounding city context. Architectonic bureau Aedas has made it a basis of the conceptual project.

The airport becomes a part of a city landscape


WKT Airport will serve the passengers who have arrived both to Hong Kong, and to China thus it's unusual enough to the traditional international airports which are usually being the property of one country.

The construction place is on border of the West Kowloon Cultural District, near to Victoria Harbour. The design of a building is completely identical to city structure.

In an airport complex there will be 400,000 sq.m. of the commercial areas, they will be placed over station.

The project height — 45 metres, a building is benched, opening a sort on the Hong Kong sky. The station building becomes as though an amphitheatre, where representation — the city opening on opposite river bank. Arena here — set of the pedestrian paths transformed into the blossoming garden.
