KING DAVID THE BUILDER INTERNATIONAL<br />
AIRPORT<br />
Kutaisi, Georgia, 2011-2012<br />
UNStudio’s design for the new King David the Builder<br />
Airport - which will serve domestic and international flights<br />
for use by international diplomats, national politicians and<br />
for tourism - incorporates both Georgia’s historic landscape<br />
and its architecture. The architecture of the terminal<br />
refers to a pavilion; a gateway, in which a clear structural<br />
layout creates an all-encompassing and protective<br />
volume. The volume is structured around a central exterior<br />
space which is used for departing passengers. The<br />
transparent space around this central point is designed<br />
to ensure that flows of passengers are smooth and that<br />
departure and arrival flows do not coincide.<br />
The 4,000 m 2 terminal building will house a central<br />
arrivals hall, a check-in area with lounge, cafe and car<br />
rental facilities, three gates for departure with retail, cafes,<br />
a CIP lounge area and exterior garden, an arrival area<br />
with customs and offices for the border police and an<br />
administration area with staff rooms and press conference<br />
facilities.<br />
The 55m high, 300 m 2 Air Traffic Control Tower is<br />
designed to complement the design of the terminal. The<br />
traffic control cabin on the top level forms the focal point<br />
of the tower, with a spacious and comfortable interior ensuring<br />
a workspace of optimal concentration. 1,500 m 2 of supporting<br />
office spaces are housed in a nearby building.<br />
