Abu Dhabi, UAE
Ambitious new developments at Abu Dhabi International Airport are now underway to consolidate its position as a leading international aviation hub, capable of handling 20 million passengers by 2010. The airport will serve Abu Dhabi, one of the world’s fastest growing cities, a major investment centre and the capital of the UAE. Our design concept enunciates the strong connection between nature and technology. Water and local vegetation are key elements in the interior design of Terminals 1 and 3. Intelligent, state-of-the-art, HypoSurfaces™ and LED lighting technologies transform the corridors, customs and immigration and baggage handling areas into smart Info-Tainment spaces. Unobstructed, interactive technologies embedded in the floors, on the walls and sometimes even in the ceilings entertain adults and youngsters alike. Nature and technology concept is also cost effective and “green” – energy costs of LED technology are 90% less than conventional lighting methods. Our concept design ideas for the interior design of the existing Terminal 1 Building are to enhance the public areas in the new Terminal Building (now under construction). Our proposed interior landscape reflects the exhilarating mixture of natural beauty, commerce and culture in a manner that is appropriate to the stature of the Abu Dhabi International Airport as “the gateway to the future.”
