- Harbin Taiping International Airport

I like how this airport is very organised, having all of these different gates going all around the airport for the airplanes too land in their designated place

This building look like a more simple design of a snowflake

The airport handled 20,431,432 passengers in 2018, making it the 20th busiest airport in mainland China. The interior has been landscaped with a number of indoor gardens that demarcate major zones of the terminal. They form lush areas of greenery that connect the building’s different levels

The exterior consists of layers creating a visually compelling building with texture

They took inspiration from the beautiful natural ice fractures to create the exterior of the building

The interior isn’t as spectacular as the exterior but it similarly has geometric shapes as the exterior design

The glimmering peaks of the airport’s roof harmonise with the regions landscape, which is known for its ice and snow.

The roof also acts as a water and snow funnel, directing it into a collection system

I can see mostly triangles were put together to inspire this structure
