These days airports have become the showcase for a city or region, emerged as gates to local realities. Dynamism and frankness of Lublin region were the issues to express during the design process. We gained inspiration from aero dynamic solutions for airplanes and disposition of air currents on the competition site. These were taken under consideration during the design process and emerged as an elegant pillow-like structure.

We placed the first phase of airport buildings along the planned runway lane to create a stripe of buildings. On the perpendicular axis of the stripe we placed a central component of the design – Terminal building. The railway station, connecting the terminal with the city, was designed as a part of the terminal itself with the access situated on the extension of the lateral axis. Such an arrangement provided a logical division of circulation around the terminal to the arrival and departure zones with the railway placed in between. It also allowed distribution of all required functions on a single level.

Parallel situation of buildings and the runway allows the future expansion of the terminal and the airport itself.

Road access to the Terminal is provided with two one-way road junctions serving separately the arrival and departure zones.

The main high capacity building is the terminal building. It was designed as a three-wing hall containing both functional zones: the airside zone, enclosing luggage sorting plant, waiting rooms and luggage claim hall with all accompanying rooms as well as the landside zone enclosing check-ins, railway station and commercial facilities like airline offices and gastronomy etc.

Sizes and parameters for the Terminal were assumed in accordance with IATA guidelines and counted for the capacity of 1 million passengers for the first stage and 3,2 million passengers terminally.
