Form Evolution.

The basic form of the terminal building is created inbetween the two parallel runways.Both the runways are placed based on the wind direction from northeast - southwest direction.

The original form is then divided into three blocks. this type of terminal layout is called as pier or linear layout.two linear rectangular blocks are interconnected by the main terminal area.

The edges of these rectangular forms gets smoothen and curves are added. thus getting divided into two , the front side of the landside area is for the domestic and the one at the back is for the international passenger area.

Then this basic curvature form gets the complex roof structure, having, multiple roof openings. the roof structure is a combination of both space frame and lattice structures.
