New terminal for Lublin International Airport
The Warsaw ARE architects won first prize in the competition for the design of a new terminal for Lublin International Airport (Poland).The project for the airport's renovation and expansion was developed in collaboration with SENER Ingeniería y Sistemas from Spain and the Polish firm Polconsult.
The airport expansion is planned in two phases. For the first phase, the authors positioned a series of buildings along the planned runway line. At their center is the crucial part of the operation - the airport terminal.
The transportation connection to the city is provided by a railway, whose station is integrated into the terminal building along with other necessary functions. Their arrangement follows a logical and operational division, with the railway station located between the main sources of passenger movement: the arrival and departure zones. This layout allowed for the arrangement of functions on a single elevation level of the hall.
Automobile traffic is directed to the terminal via two one-way flows servicing the arrival and departure zones separately.
The terminal building was designed as a three-wing hall containing all essential operational zones: the arrival and departure sections, waiting rooms, administration, transportation, and baggage claim, complemented by the necessary commercial and gastronomic facilities for passengers and offices for airport management.
"We drew inspiration from the aerodynamic solutions in aircraft structures and the character of air currents over the designated plot. These insights were taken into account and influenced the final 'cushion-like' form of the project."
The parameters and size of the terminal were designed in accordance with the IATA regulations and consider a capacity of 1 million passengers in the first phase and 3.2 million upon completion of both phases of the airport expansion.
Lublin Airport:
Terminal area: 17,345 m²
Control tower: 2,114 m²
Administration building: 901 m²
