Overview of the Suvarnabhumi airport canopy project
Text descriptions provided by the architects. Suvarnabhumi airport built on a green plot of land 24 km east of Bangkok. The first phase, which will accommodate 45 million passengers annually will include 56 contact gates and 64 stand locations with 563,000 SM of terminals. The expected maximum capacity after the phased expansion will be 120 million passengers annually.
Suvarnabhumi Airport passenger terminal complex
The master plan uses the concept train station/pier emphasizes passenger traffic versus aircraft traffic. A large roof truss structure placed over a complex of functionally separate buildings unifies the site and provides the dominant architectural image when approached from the landward side.
Designed to accommodate future developments of end-to-end stands and trusses Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airport canopy serves an important function by shading underlying structures from direct sunlight, thereby reducing mechanical loads.
The outdoor spaces between the buildings are also shaded by roof trusses and are important to the overall concept. Instead of simply being empty areas reserved for future expansion, Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airport canopy are landscaped courtyards, useful for pedestrians and visual amenities for passengers at the station above.
Cultural artifacts and traditional architectural elements are placed in landscaped courtyards Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airport canopy, linking the station complex with the cultural traditions of Thailand.
Integrated Building Design for Suvarnabhumi Airport
The planning of Suvarnabhumi Airport is a masterpiece of interdisciplinary work between architects and engineers. The complexity and scale of the airport require new architectural and engineering solutions. The goal of creating a low-energy building and designing a building according to the most advanced technology requires very close and close cooperation between all sectors. The results are convincing, surprising and – at times – breath-taking.
Structure Suvarnabhumi airport canopy Bangkok has dimensions of 567m x 210 m according to plan and includes 8 super load-bearing beams. These beams have a central span of 126 m and cantilevered ends, both 42 m long. The entire roof is supported by 16 frame-style steel columns. Shaping the architecture according to its function, the geometric shape of the superstructure beam is determined through the level of bending moment.
The glass Terminal Building is centrally located beneath the planned 444 m x 111 m roof structure and includes cable facade walls with a height of approximately 35 m. To ensure longevity, high performance and low maintenance costs, sun louvers, consisting of factory finished aluminum, are placed on top of the roof structure.
Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport canopy system designed to shade the Terminal Building from direct sunlight while still allowing diffused indirect light into the Terminal Building. Because the sunshades have been positioned outside the building envelope, the absorbed solar heat is transmitted to the environment by a natural ventilation system creating an energy-saving ecological solution.
With the measurements described, Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airport canopy can control the transmission of light and heat creating a highly transparent building, suitable for even the highest thermal and visual comfort requirements.
The waiting room area, which will accommodate passengers and passenger vehicles, Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airport canopy consisting of 5-pin arched truss beams with an alternating system of glazed facades and translucent fabric membrane settings, extended to bridge the 27 m gap between the glazed facades.
The laminated glass of the glass facade will receive a sun-protective coating and a ceramic layer of variable density. While the cover is relatively dense in the upper layer Suvarnabhumi Bangkok airport canopy achieving good solar protection against the sun standing high in Thailand, it tapers towards the lower parts to allow good visibility outward.
