ザハ・ハディド・アーキテクツの設計した北京大興国際空港が開港

9月25日（現地時間）に、中国・北京の新空港『北京大興国際空港』が開港した。北京第2の国際空港となる本空港は、世界的なイギリスの建築事務所「Zaha Hadid Architects（ザハ・ハディド・アーキテクツ）」とフランスのエンジニアリング会社「ADP Ingénierie（ADP アンジェニエリ）」が設計を担当。『北京大興国際空港』は70万平方メートルの広大な面積を誇り、搭乗ゲートが６方向に広がる星形の近未来的デザインを特徴とする。

設計を担当した両社は、伝統的な中国建築の原則に沿ってターミナルを建設。乗客の搭乗効率を高めることを目的に、6方向に広がる搭乗ゲートを中央の中庭エリアに集約した構造に。各搭乗ゲートまでの到着時間は徒歩8分以下となるとのこと。さらに“曲線の女王”の異名を持つイラク出身の建築家・故 Zaha Hadidが設立した事務所らしく、内部には流線形のデザインを多用され、斬新かつ洗練された空間となっている。

新空港の年間利用者数は、初年度で4,500万人、2025年までには7,200万人に到達する見込み。最終的には年間利用者数１億人を想定しており、今後ターミナルの拡張が行われるとのこと。

The new Beijing Daxing International Airport is 46km south of the city centre (20 mins by express train). . Alleviating congestion at the capital’s existing airport, Beijing Daxing will be a major transport hub for the region with the world’s fastest growing demand for international travel. . Initially serving 45 million passengers per year, Beijing Daxing will accommodate 72 million travellers by 2025 and is planned for further expansion to serve 100 million passengers and 4 million tonnes of cargo annually. . Beijing Daxing’s 700,000m² passenger terminal includes a ground transportation centre offering direct connections to Beijing, the national high-speed rail network and local train services. . Echoing principles within traditional Chinese architecture that organise interconnected spaces around a central courtyard, the design guides all passengers seamlessly through the relevant departure, arrival or transfer zones towards the courtyard at its centre. . 6 flowing forms within the terminal’s vaulted roof reach to the ground to support the structure and bring natural light within, directing all passengers towards the central court. A network of linear skylights also provide an intuitive system of navigation throughout the building, guiding passengers to and from their departure gates. . The compact radial design allows a maximum number of aircraft to be parked directly at the terminal with minimum distances from the centre of the building, providing exceptional convenience for passengers and flexibility in operations. . 5 aircraft piers radiate from the terminal’s main central court where all passenger services & amenities are located, enabling passengers to walk the comparatively short distances through the airport without the need for automated shuttle trains. . Incorporating photovoltaic power generation, centralised heating with waste heat recovery and a composite ground-source heat pump system, the airport implements rainwater collection and a water management network with natural storage, natural permeation and natural purification of up to 2.8 million cubic meters of water in new wetlands, lakes and streams. .
