Entry Description

The designed terminal aims to create a new landmark for Tashkent, to attract not only the passengers and other airlines for hub, but also to turn the new terminal into a destination point. The steel grid shell structure of the canopy has varying diagonal patterns providing a unique sculptural identity with its cladding. The design of the canopy is inspired by outstretched wings of the mythical bird, Huma which is a main figure of Uzbekistan State symbol and represents the peace & prosperity. The linear skylights are located parallel to the passenger flow to provide intuitive wayfinding.
