Al Khor International Airport

Al Khor International Airport, located in Qatar, is a new small airport serving 4 planes, dedicated for arrivals and departures, as well as transfer passengers.

The idea behind this airport is simple, a large dome serving as an atrium in the centre, and all the other functions distributed around it. The dome, accessible on the arrivals level with a nice void towards the departures level, is the datum of the project, and is actually animating the interior of this airport as well as the exterior. This airport also takes a structural aspect with the large roof steel trusses that lead to open interior spaces.
