KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 -- The Green Gateway—a zero-emission, highly sustainable multimodal hub—has been named winner of the 2020 Fentress Global Challenge by Fentress Architects.
The annual global student design competition was launched in 2011, representing the firm’s commitment to advancing innovative design in public architecture and attracts students worldwide.
The 2020 winning proposals reflect the radical innovation, quality and curiosity required to advance airport terminal design, according to a statement.
The winning concept, designed by Nikhil Bang and Kaushal Tatiya from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, transforms the Indira Gandhi International Airport into a forward-thinking, sustainable multimodal hub that mitigates the environmental impacts of air travel while enhancing mobility across New Delhi, India.
The design, dubbed ‘the Green Gateway’ proposes a future where airports are more than buildings; they provide a seamless connection to the cultural context of the site, from their planning to their form and materiality.
The second place winner was Dušan Sekulic, a student at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia; third place winner comprised Yuanxiang Chan, Chaofan Zhang, and Zhuangzhuang King from Beijing Jiaotong University; while the #1 People’s Choice Award was won by Yi Yang Chai and Sharon Cho from the University of Malaya.
With over 100 submissions from students in over 15 countries, this year’s competition challenged participants to envision airport mobility in the year 2100.
Participants proposed a diverse spectrum of design concepts to improve the airport passenger terminal building, addressing key factors such as futuristic transportation technologies, urbanisation, globalisation, technology, flexibility, security and project feasibility.
