About Terminal 2 د هوایي ډګر ترمینل
ترمینل ۲ د هند د آسام په ګواهاټي کې یو نړیوال هوایي ډګر ترمینل دی چې پلان شوی دی هر کال شاوخوا دیارلس میلیونه مسافر وچلوي. معماري یې د بانس د آرکیډ ګل موضوع تعقیبوي، چې ستنې او ځوړند ګلپاڼې یې د بانس د لرګیو څخه جوړې شوې دي چې پر اور ضد پوښ سره پوښل شوي دي. غیرفعاله ستراتیژۍ لکه د لمر انرژۍ غوره کارونه، لوړ فعالیت لرونکې عایق کاري او د سیوري وسایل د انرژۍ موثریت ښه کوي. دوه پوړه لوړوالی لرونکي داخلي برخې چې د چت له کړکیو رڼا اخلي او د رارسیدو ځنګل، رڼا او شنه فضا کورنۍ برخې ته راوړي. ځان چیک ان، چټک د بکسونو سپارل او بریښنایي دروازې د مسافرو اسانه تګ راتګ ملاتړ کوي.

- Production Technology
- Guwahati International Airport integrates climatic responsiveness, contextual design and cultural identity. Passive strategies of solar optimization, high performance insulation and shading devices enhance energy efficiency. Double height skylit interiors and the Arrival Forest ensure daylighting and biophilic experience. Inspired by Assamese villages, programmatic elements like pond, amphitheatre, food and retail zones promote social interaction and cultural engagement.
- Design Challenge
- Challenges included designing for Assam’s humid subtropical climate with high rainfall requiring robust drainage waterproofing and mold resistant materials. Seasonal weather variations affected construction sequencing and material curing. Compressed timelines demanded efficient planning, modular construction and phased execution to meet deadlines without compromising safety quality or sustainability.
- Research
- Research for Guwahati International Airport design involved site and climate analysis, stakeholder consultations, and benchmarking global and regional airports. Passenger profiling and flow simulations informed spatial planning. Cultural integration drew on Assamese motifs, bamboo craft, and orchids. Sustainability strategies included passive cooling, rainwater harvesting, and renewable energy. Iterative design prototyping ensured compliance, safety, adaptability, and a strong regional identity.
- Inspiration
- The design concept of the Guwahati International Airport draws profound inspiration from the state of Assam. Bamboo, integral to daily life symbolises strength, sustainability, and resilience. The design combines these natural elements to create an architectural language that is organic, lightweight, and sustainable. Bamboo, integral to the daily life of North East India, symbolises strength, sustainability, and resilience.
- Project Duration
- The airport terminal is located in the city of Guwahati, state capital of Assam, India. The project started full swing construction in 2023 and is schedule for completion by 2025.
- Operation Flow
- Passengers begin their journey with easy self check in fast baggage drop and e gates that save time. After security they can unwind in spaces for shopping, dining and relaxation before boarding. Arrivals are welcomed by forest inspired spaces creating a calm transition as they collect bags and move out with ease. Behind the scenes every detail is managed with care ensuring a seamless and stress free experience.
