Designs unveiled for Kuwait International Airport
科威特国际机场的设计方案公布
Kuwait International Airport is planned to significantly increase capacity and establish a new regional air hub in the Gulf – the project’s strategic aims will be matched by a state-of-the-art terminal building, which will provide the highest levels of comfort for passengers and will set a new environmental benchmark for airport buildings. Its design is rooted in a sense of place, responsive to the climate of one of the hottest inhabited environments on earth and inspired by local forms and materials.
科威特国际机场的建设将为海湾地区大幅增长生产力并成为一个新的空运集散中心——为达到这一项目的战略目标还将配合最先进的机场配套建筑，为乘客提供最高水平的服务，并为机场建筑设定一套新的环境标准。该设计植根于对场所的认识, 反映了世界上最热的人居环境之一的气候，并受到当地形式和材料的灵感启发。
The terminal has a trefoil plan, comprising three symmetrical wings of departure gates. Each façade spans 1.2 kilometres and all extend from a dramatic 25-metre-high central space. The terminal balances the enclosure of this vast area with a design that is highly legible at a human scale – for simplicity and ease of use there are few level changes.
航运站有一个闭合的平面，包括登机口的三个对称的翅膀。每个立面跨越1.2公里，这些都源于一个戏剧性的25米高中央空间。航运站平衡了这个场地的广阔巨大的尺度与设计上的高度人性化尺度——为了简洁明了和方便使用，比较少有高程的变化。
To further aid orientation, the building is planned under a single roof canopy, punctuated by glazed openings that filter daylight, while deflecting direct solar radiation. The canopy extends to shade a generous entrance plaza and is supported by tapering concrete columns – their fluid, organic forms draw inspiration from the contrast between the solidity of the stone and the shape and movement of Kuwait’s traditional dhow sailing boats.
整个建筑设计在一个屋顶下，屋顶上有玻璃开口能过滤阳光，并转变阳光直射。屋顶一直延伸遮盖住开阔的入口广场，并由锥形混凝土柱支撑——他们流动而有机的形式的灵感是来自石头的坚固和科威特传统帆船的动态。
The project targets LEED ‘gold’ – it aims to be the first passenger terminal in the world to attain this level of environmental accreditation. The concrete structure provides thermal mass and the roof incorporates a large expanse of photovoltaic panels to harvest solar energy.
这个项目的目标是LEED ‘gold’ ——这将是世界上第一个达到这一环保认证水平的客运航空站。混凝土结构提供了热量和屋顶将有大量的光电板板来获取太阳能。
Foster + Partners has designed a flexible masterplan for the site, with the terminal strategically located to anticipate and enable future expansion. The airport will initially accommodate 13 million passengers per year, with the flexibility to increase to 25 million passengers and to accommodate 50 million passengers with further development.
Foster + Partners还为场地设计了灵活的总体规划，使机场建设能预先考虑和准备好未来的扩张。机场最初将每年接纳1300万乘客，并可弹性增加到2500万名乘客，随着将来的进一步发展后还能满足接纳5000万名乘客的要求。
Mouzhan Majidi, Chief Executive of Foster + Partners, commented: “The scale of the airport shows Kuwait’s great foresight in recognising the benefits of strategic investment in future infrastructure. The environmental ambitions driving the project are equally impressive.We are pleased to have this opportunity to reveal our designs. The emblematic three-winged form will be as memorable from the air as from the ground – a new symbol of contemporary Kuwait, which resonates with its rich culture and history.”
Mouzhan Majidi，Foster + Partners的首席执行官,评论说:“机场的规模显示了科威特高瞻远瞩地认识到在未来的基础设施上战略投资的好处。推动该项目的环境目的也同样让人印象深刻。我们很高兴有这个机会来展现我们的设计。这种象征性的three-winged的形式不管从地面还是从空中看，都是一个难忘的记忆——也是当代科威特的一个新的符号，并与其丰富的文化和历史产生共鸣。”
