airport design

Recommended Posts

i have an idea to create a new project for my students, and i'd like to do an airport.

 

i've found a couple of CAD drawings online, but i'd really like to do something a little more clean and modern - like kansai airport by renzo piano. i've not been able to find much online, and my library of books is a little short on airport design.

 

if anyone can provide me with a legible plan of this airport, or any other, it would be much appreciated. in the end, it doesn't have to be a real airport, but i'd like a few more ideas to help me along (circulation, planning, general layout...)

 

many thanks

whats the focus of the project? is it for them to model something or to design something. My suggestion would be to make them design their own airport and model it, it would be a better expansion of their creativity as opposed to making them just replicate someone else's work.

 

good question - i should have been more specific.

 

it is actually an autocad project and is really only a 2D exercise in blocks/xrefs/paperspace.

 

an airport is an excellent example of modular, repetitive elements and would make a great final exam, where i provide them with the basic components and then they have to assemble and setup in paperspace.

 

now that you (and everyone knows), please don't tell them, or i'll have to kill you.
