The airport is an extremely complex infrastructure, which must be well planned so that it can assume its full potential. The passenger and aircraft movements have led to airport terminals acquire a characteristic spatial and building system. Constructive technological innovation, been held at the last decades, is crucial in defining their spaces, it has leading to different solutions that are able to meet the needs of these complex spaces.
The design is defined by an airport planning and the design of a habitable spatial context, highly conditionated on the movement and the need for flexibility in space, formed by structures that show the ability to accommodate to the new necessties. This thesis aims to realize a study of the justification of structural and constructive solutions adopted in the terminals, as new centers of constructive innovation, that allows functionality. These systems are based on the use of light surfaces defined by spatial or monocoque structures.
