Ngày 6/11, Hội nghị tổng kết 3 năm (2005-2008) về đầu tư-xây dựng-phát triển Khu kinh tế cửa khẩu quốc tế Bờ Y được tổ chức tại Hà Nội. Đây là khu kinh tế có vị trí địa chính trị - địa kinh tế rất thuận lợi nằm trong hệ thống các khu kinh tế cửa khẩu Việt Nam. Có 01 cửa khẩu Quốc tế với Lào và 01 của khẩu quốc gia với Campuchia và là trung tâm trong tam giác phát triển 3 nước Việt Nam – Lào – Campuchia, gắn kết với hành lang kinh tế Đông – Tây đã được Thủ tướng 3 nước phê duyệt quy hoạch tại Tuyên bố Viêng Chăn về việc thiết lập tam giác phát triển 3 nước Việt Nam – Lào – Campuchia. Khu kinh tế có vai trò là đầu mối giao lưu kinh tế quan trọng trong khu vực, góp phần thúc đẩy phát triển kinh tế xã hội của Tây Nguyên và khu vực, là điểm nhấn trong chiến lược liên kết nhằm tạo cơ hội hợp tác, phát triển đồng đều giữa các nước ASEAN và tiểu vùng sông MêKông. Ngày 8/2/2007, Thủ tướng Chính phủ đã ký Quyết định số 225/QĐ-TTg về việc phê duyệt điều chỉnh quy hoạch chung với mục tiêu đến năm 2025 định hướng xây dựng phát triển Khu kinh tế cửa khẩu quốc tế Bờ Y có tổng diện tích tự nhiên 71.138ha; trong đó xây dựng đô thị biên giới loại II với diện tích 22.000ha, gồm khu đô thị 18.552 ha; khu cửa khẩu quốc tế với Lào 220ha; cửa khẩu quốc gia với Campuchia khoảng 150ha; khu thương mại quốc tế 450ha; khu công nghiệp tập trung và khu công nghệ cao 1.750ha; khu sân bay thương mại quốc tế 700ha và các khu chức năng khác. Đến nay, Ban quản lý Khu kinh tế đã tạo điều kiện cho 36 dự án đang triển khai với diện tích 2.510ha. Tuy vậy, tính đến hết tháng 9 năm nay, UBND tỉnh Kon Tum mới giao cho Ban quản lý trên 304ha và mới có 9 dự án được phê duyệt phương án đền bù giải phóng mặt bằng với diện tích chỉ hơn 122ha. Ông Nguyễn Thế Đạt, Trưởng Ban quản lý Khu kinh tế của khẩu quốc tế Bờ Y cho rằng: Bộ Tài nguyên và Môi trường cần sớm có văn bản hướng dẫn để UBND tỉnh Kon Tum và các ban, ngành trong tỉnh có liên quan giao một lần toàn bộ quỹ đất cho Khu kinh tế, để thực hiện đúng nội dung các Quyết định của Chính phủ về quản lý, sử dụng tài nguyên đất ở đây thống nhất về một đầu mối. Tiến sĩ Nguyễn Quang Học, chuyên gia quy hoạch đất Trường Đại học Nông nghiệp I Hà Nội nhận xét: Nguyên nhân chậm trễ trong việc giải phóng mặt bằng để đầu tư các dự án tại Khu kinh tế của khẩu quốc tế Bờ Y là do toàn bộ quỹ đất của Khu kinh tế địa phương chưa giao cho Ban quản lý. Dẫn đến việc quản lý và sử dụng tài nguyên đất ở đây chưa thật hiệu quả, như quy hoạch sử dụng đất cấp xã trong Khu kinh tế không theo quy hoạch chung. Đây là một trong những nguyên nhân dẫn đến thực hiện chiến lược phát triển Khu kinh tế theo Quyết định của Thủ tướng Chính phủ còn bị hạn chế, làm giảm tiến độ đầu tư, chưa thực hiện được cải cách hành chính... Do đó, tình trạng mua bán trái phép đất đai, xây dựng không phép, lấn chiếm... diễn biến phức tạp trong Khu kinh tế nên khi triển khai các dự án đầu tư bị vướng mắc. Nhất là khi có Công văn 5787 ngày 3/9/2008 của Văn phòng Chính phủ về việc soạn thảo Quyết định sửa đổi, bổ sung Quyết định 22 của Thủ tướng Chính phủ, chuyển đầu mối quản lý hành chính theo hướng Ban quản lý trực thuộc UBND tỉnh Kon Tum, mà không còn trực thuộc Chính phủ như từ trước đến nay. Ngay sau đó, một số nhà đầu tư đang chuẩn bị đầu tư đã tạm dừng lại, một số khác im lặng không triển khai tiếp các bước tiếp theo để chờ kết quả về sự thay đổi cơ chế chính sách đối với Khu kinh tế mới quyết định có tiếp tục đầu tư hay không. Tại hội thảo, các đại biểu đã nêu lên những vấn đề, bức xúc khi đầu tư vào đây. Ông Phạm Khắc Uyên, Chủ tịch HĐQT kiêm Tổng giám đốc Tổng công ty cổ phần thương mại Đông Dương kiến nghị: Chính phủ nên ổn định chính sách vĩ mô, các văn bản để nhà đầu tư yên tâm đầu tư vào Khu kinh tế. Còn các nhà đầu tư trong Khu kinh tế cũng nên thành lập CLB để có thể chủ động tổ chức hội nghị và cân nhắc để có những đề xuất, đối thoại về cơ chế, chính sách… Hầu hết các đại biểu tham dự hội thảo đều cùng chung ý kiến: cần có chính sách vĩ mô cho sự ổn định từ 10 năm trở lên nhằm tạo điều kiện và thu hút nhà đầu tư, doanh nghiệp yên tâm đến đầu tư tại khu kinh tế. |

Khu kinh tế cửa khẩu quốc tế Bờ Y tổng kết 3 năm về đầu tư-xây dựng-phát triển
Foreigners allowed undertaking in EVN-refused power projects
(Updated at 10:19' 6/11/2008)
The Government of Vietnam has allowed foreign investors to undertake in the power projects which the Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) has refused. Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai has asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to guide investors to implement the 13 projects EVN has ‘given back’. Foreign partners will be allowed to join forces with domestic economic groups and general corporations to implement the projects. EVN will undertake two of the 13 projects, including Duyen Hai 1 (in Tra Vinh Province) which has the capacity of 2 x 600MW, and VInh Tan 2 (Binh Thuan province) which has the designed capacity of 2 x 600MW. The other two power projects, which have the capacity of 2 x 600MW, will be assigned to foreign contractors. Three other large projects, which have the capacity of 2 x 600MW and higher, will be assigned to three Vietnamese groups. The Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) will undertake the 2 x 600MW Long Phu 1 project in The large 2 x 1000MW Vinh Tan 3 project in Binh Thuan province will be assigned to the group of contractors, including EVN and one Energy and Pacific Corporation. The group of Lilama, REE, and one Energy will undertake the 2 x 600MW Vung Ang 2. The remaining three projects, including Duyen Hai 3, Long Phu 2 and Long Phu 3, are still under consideration. The Deputy Prime Minister has asked the Ministry of Industry and Trade to prepare documents for international bidding for the Vung Ang 3 and Quang Trach thermo power plants. The bids need to be organized soon in order to ensure the previously set schedules of the projects. In case investors are slow in implementing projects, the Ministry of Industry and Trade will have to suggest replacing them with other investors. The reasons that EVN gave was that it could not arrange enough capital for all power projects, and in August they decided to ‘give back’ 13 projects which it was assigned to undertake. EVN said that it has been negotiating with many domestic and foreign banks to look for capital for the projects. However, many banks have rejected to give loans, as they fear that EVN will not be able to pay debts when the electricity prices are low and the inflation rate is high.

Maradona Officially Appointed Coach Of Argentina
Diego Maradona was officially presented as the coach of the Argentine national team on Tuesday evening. He stated that it "is a dream come true" and that he will "work as much as possible" so that the national team can enjoy success...
Diego Armando Maradona officially took over as the new coach of Argentina on Tuesday evening. The Argentine football legend affirmed that it "is an honour" and that it is a "dream come true" for him, because it is a position that he has wanted to occupy for many years.
"It's an honour," said Maradona. "Being named the coach of the national team is a dream come true.
"I'm going to give it my all for things to turn out well. We are going to work hard every morning in order to give the national team what it deserves. I want to maintain this project with Carlos (Bilardo), both of us are going to be at the head of everything," added the successor of Alfio Basile, who resigned on the 16th of October, the day after Argentina lost 1-0 to Chile in Santiago.
"This arrives during the best time of my life. Every morning I can wake up, every lunch time I mean (he laughed). I have the confidence of my daughters back, I enter a beautiful dream which is the national team, my parents are well, I'm well spiritually and emotionally, I can't ask for more. It arrives in the best moment of my life, I'm going to work with everything I've got," an emotional Maradona stated.
Despite lots of speculation in recent days, Maradona didn't end up revealing his coaching team: "We haven't decided it yet. But Checho Batista and Tata Brown are at our services."
Possible assistants include, Miguel Angel Brindisi, Oscar Ruggeri and Alejandro Mancuso. "Lots of names have appeared and lots more certainly will. We have to have a very clear mind when selecting who will be by our side," insisted Maradona.
When asked if he is afraid about possible failure with the national team, something that could further damage his reputation, Maradona affirmed: "I'm not afraid that my crown might fall. It would be worse to hide in the shadows" .
Maradona will take a flight to Spain later on in the night, as he is planning to attend the UEFA Champions League clash between Real Madrid and Juventus at the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.

General View of Central Japan International Airport, Tokoname, Japan
Key Data:
Centrair, formally known as the Central Japan International Airport, was conceived and constructed as a new air gateway to the central region of Japan. The artificial airport island was built in the Aichi prefecture, about 170 miles southwest of Tokyo. "Centrair is an artificial airport island, built in the Aichi prefecture, about 170 miles southwest of Tokyo." The airport now serves a major population centre of about 10 million people and also a major industrial area; the airport also handles a significant quantity of commercial cargo from the area. Much of the cargo leaving Centrair consists of orders from automobile producers based in the region. Airport officials hope that about 50% of the region's cargo, or around 600,000t a year, will eventually pass through Centrair.The target for the 2007 fiscal year was 300,000t per year. Despite much protest over the project's necessity by local environmentalists and fishermen, construction started in August 2000. The airport was opened on schedule in March 2005; this was timed to handle the passenger traffic for the 2005 World Exposition, which was held in the nearby city of Aichi (the Expo provided the first test for the airport and allowed it to prove its usefulness to its critics). Airport traffic has been growing since its opening and it is now Japan's third largest international. The new airport has also been designated a Class 1 national airport as well as an international airport. The airport is now operating at full capacity and all international and domestic passenger flights that previously used the Nagoya Airport were transferred to the new airport. OPERATORS AND FINANCE The airport's operator is a consortium made up of the central and local governments as well as over 200 companies. The consortium is known as Central Japan International Airport Company Ltd (CJIAC) and they were appointed by the national government in July 1998 to be the constructing and managing body of Centrair. The airport construction costs came to a little over ¥768bn ($7bn). CJIAC fostered an excellent environmental record during the construction project and were ISO 14001 certified during the course of the project. CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN AND PECULIARITY The new airport was constructed on an artificial offshore island created by a land-reclamation scheme started in 2001 and completed by spring of 2003. The land was reclaimed by building concrete revetments on the seabed and then building the island up with hundreds of tons of rock and sandstone landfill. The seabed was particularly shallow and stable in this region, allowing this to be achieved. The island, constructed by Penta-Ocean Construction Co Ltd, was initially designed to allow for one large runway. The airport occupies an area of 4.3km × 1.9km on the island, leaving the remaining space for local wildlife. Since its is an offshore airport, only water areas are affected by aircraft noise, enabling aircraft to land and take-off 24 hours a day without the time constraints that affect other airports that are closer to habitation. NEW IMPROVEMENTS Apron expansion was started in seven locations on the island in 2006. The work is scheduled to be completed by 2010. A second 4,000m runway has also been planned, which will occupy an additional three square kilometres of space and be situated around 300m from the existing runway. Funding for the new runway is expected to become available in 2008. The runway will cost two trillion yen ($17 billion). PASSENGER TERMINAL BUILDING The passenger terminal was designed by a joint venture; CJIAC commissioned four construction companies to participate in the planning, design and survey of the passenger terminal area. The four companies were Nikken Sekkei Ltd and Azusa Sekkei Co, both of Japan, along with Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum Inc (HOK) of the United States and British firm Bovis Program Management Japan Inc. Arup was responsible for structural and faced engineering. The passenger terminal building consists of four areas - main building, international wing, domestic wing and centre pier. It is a long narrow T-shaped building about 1,030m in the north–south direction and about 500m in the east–west direction. The main terminal building has a central pier extending towards the runway and two 'wings' extending out to the sides. The roof covering this large building has a total area of about 80,000m², and is an important element both functionally and architecturally. The total system used to construct the terminal is a combination of space trusses and raking columns (columns with four inclined members), to give an integrated, simple, and rational design. For architectural expression the linear trusses are exposed to form the ceiling reminiscent of origami. "The new airport island was created by a land-reclamation scheme completed in spring 2003." The total floor area for the passenger terminal is 220,000m². The terminal building comprises two self-contained levels allowing easier flight connections for travellers. The terminal also has abundant commercial space for shops and malls and an observation deck to allow views of the airplane takeoffs and landings. Also, by using glass and metal panels in the facade to give a design with a feeling of transparency, natural light is allowed in for plants. On the west side facing Ise Bay glass was used abundantly to create a feeling of openness and to make the most of the natural light. To increase the energy efficiency of the design louvers created light shading and multi-layer glass was used for thermal insulation. Some of the building's main attractions are the Tenbo Buro (bath with a view), a spa facility that offers views of airliners landing and taking off and the indoor garden where Japanese couples can stage wedding ceremonies. The terminal building has won several awards for its design, including the Good Design Award 2005, the Cyubu Architecture Award 2005 and the Aichi Townscape Architecture Award 2005. RETAIL EXPANSION Plans to expand the retail space in the international departure area at Centrair began in April 2006 and were completed in 2007. This has further improved the service for passengers. A new gift and travel goods shop opened in another area with a larger floor space and the foreign money exchange booth was moved to a new area in the terminal that is more accessible to arriving passengers. Meanwhile, the deli and cafe floor space was extended into the space vacated by the old gift and travel goods shop. Expansion work was completed in 2007. NEW CARGO APRON AND WAREHOUSING In 2007 expansion of the cargo apron was completed and put into operation. This included a 30,688m² area with three new airscraft stands for the larger cargo aircraft. Also in 2007, construction of the international cargo warehouse 3 was finished. The new warehouse building measures 9,500m² the majority of which is operated by Sky Support Service Corporation. The total international cargo handling floor space in the Centrair cargo area spans 440,000m². AIRPORT ACCESS The airport is joined to the mainland via a four-lane highway stretching some 2.1km to join the Chita transversal road, second Tomei expressway and the Meishin expressway. This access road ensures a high-speed link to the airport for motor vehicles from the mainland (30–40 minutes travel time). In addition, an airport access railway was completed in March 2006, which now links the airport to central Nagoya in a travel time of only 28 minutes. This was done with a link to the Tokoname line of the Nagoya railroad. The airport trains also provide direct connections to Toyohashi, Inuyama and Gifu City. "The airport is joined to the mainland via a four-lane highway and a new railway link to central Nagoya." Centrair is also connected to Tsu in Mie prefecture by high-speed boat from its own marine terminal. In the central zone of the airport island where the marine access terminal is located construction is now underway (since early 2006) to develop a conference centre, restaurants, shopping mall, training and research facilities. On the mainland opposite the airport island various projects have been developed including new town planning, landscaping, commercial areas and an observatory for watching aircraft. SCANNING TECHNOLOGY CJIAC in Japan ordered CTX series explosives detection systems from InVision Technologies Inc, Newark, California, to be installed in the Centrair terminal. The CTX 9000 DSi system is the fastest FAA-certified Explosives Detection System (EDS) currently available. The system is FAA-certified at 542 bags an hour but can use alternative modes to increase throughput. The system has a 1m-wide conveyor that coordinates with standard airport baggage handling systems and requires minimal space for installation. The CTX 9000 DSi has core technology derived from medical Computerised Tomography (CT).

Sẽ xây hai nhà máy điện hạt nhân
|
Việt Nam dự kiến nhà máy đầu tiên sẽ hoạt động năm 2020 |
Tại một hội thảo quốc tế về điện hạt nhân ở Hà Nội hôm 31.10, Viện trưởng Viện Năng lượng Nguyên tử Việt Nam, TS. Vương Hữu Tấn, nói mỗi nhà máy có hai lò phản ứng và tổng công suất hai nhà máy khoảng 4000MW.
Dự kiến nếu được Quốc hội thông qua vào đầu năm sau, công việc xây dựng sẽ tiến hành vào 2012 và nhà máy đầu tiên đi vào hoạt động năm 2020.
Đây là một dự án gây tranh cãi, với ý kiến cho rằng không nên xây một lúc bốn lò phản ứng.
Chuẩn bị nhân lực
Nói với báo điện tử VietnamNet, Viện trưởng Vương Hữu Tấn cho biết Viện của ông cùng năm trường đại học đang đào tạo nhân lực ngành ứng dụng năng lượng nguyên tử và điện hạt nhân.
Dự kiến một Trung tâm Đào tạo Hạt nhân cũng sẽ được thành lập.
Giới chức nói qua kết quả thăm dò ý kiến người dân, "đại đa số" đều ủng hộ điện hạt nhân.
Nhà máy Điện hạt nhân Ninh Thuận 1 sẽ đặt ở huyện Ninh Phước, với tổng diện tích chiếm đất trên đất liền là 540ha, cộng thêm 310ha diện tích mặt nước ngoài biển.
Nhà máy số hai đặt ở huyện Ninh Hải, với diện tích 556ha trên đất liền.
Tập đoàn Điện lực VN (EVN) là chủ đầu tư Dự án Nhà máy Điện hạt nhân Ninh Thuận.
Những người ủng hộ đề án nói rằng trong bối cảnh thiếu điện hiện tại, sản xuất điện hạt nhân là nhu cầu hợp lý.
Trong một dấu hiệu cho thấy nhiều người trong Quốc hội có vẻ đồng thuận, ông Nguyễn Đăng Vang, Phó Chủ nhiệm Ủy ban Khoa học, Công nghệ và Môi trường của Quốc hội, nói Việt Nam đủ năng lực để vận hành nhà máy điện hạt nhân.
Ông Vang cũng nói với báo Tiền Phong: "Để quản lý vận hành một nhà máy như vậy, người ta chỉ cần có 11 người, chẳng lẽ đất nước ta không tìm được 11 người có kỷ luật cao, có đủ trí tuệ để làm việc đó."
Ông nhận xét chỉ cần 32 tháng để đào tạo cán bộ và rằng "từ nay đến 2020, còn 12 năm nữa, không lẽ chúng ta lại không đào tạo được mấy trăm người."
Trong khi đó, ông Lê Tuấn Phong - Phó Vụ trưởng Vụ Năng lượng (Bộ Công Thương) - bảo vệ chủ trương xây bốn lò hạt nhân cùng lúc.
Ông Phong cho rằng "chỉ xây một lò về quy mô kinh tế là không hợp lý".
Ý kiến khác
Tuy vậy, có những ý kiến không đồng tình kế hoạch xây bốn lò hạt nhân một lúc.
GS. Phạm Duy Hiển, nguyên Viện trưởng Viện lò phản ứng hạt nhân Đà Lạt, nói công khai trên báo rằng chỉ nên xây một lò trước.
Ông Hiển cáo buộc có những người muốn xây nhiều chỉ để "bán được nhà máy, sau đó sẽ tính tiếp!"
Lý do GS. Hiển đưa ra là Việt Nam không có đủ "người am hiểu, làm chủ được công nghệ phức tạp, lại có hệ thống luật pháp nghiêm minh, biết quản lý theo công nghiệp hiện đại".
GS. Trần Đình Long, Phó Chủ tịch Hội Điện lực Việt Nam, cũng được dẫn lời cho rằng ít nhất 15 năm mới có thể đào tạo đủ nguồn nhân lực.

General View of Airport Projects (updating)
Stansted Airport challenged all the accepted rules of airport terminal design. By turning the building ‘upside down’ the lightweight roof is freed simply to keep out rain and let in light. Energy efficient, environmentally discreet within its rural setting, technologically advanced yet incredibly simple to use and experience, Stansted has become a model for airport planners and designers around the world.
Stansted Airport challenged all the accepted rules of airport terminal design. It went back to the roots of modern air travel and literally stood conventional wisdom on its head. The earliest airport buildings were very simple: on one side there was a road and on the other a field where aircraft landed into the wind. The progression from landside to airside was a walk from your car through the terminal and out onto your plane, which was always in view. Revealed through every aspect of its design, Stansted was an attempt to recapture the clarity of those early airfields, together with some of the lost romance of air travel.
From the traveller's point of view, movement through the completed building is straightforward and direct - Stansted has none of the level changes and subsequent orientation problems that are typical to most airports. Passengers proceed in a fluid movement from the set-down point through to the check-in area, passport control and departure lounges, where they can see the planes. From there, an automated transit system takes them to satellite buildings to board their aircraft. This degree of clarity was achieved by turning the building upside down, banishing the heavy environmental service installations usually found at roof level to an undercroft that runs beneath the entire concourse floor. This subterranean level also contains baggage handling and was able to accommodate a mainline railway station, which was integrated into the building late in the design process.
All service distribution systems are contained within the trunks of the structural trees that rise up from the undercroft through the concourse floor. These trees support a lightweight roof that is freed simply to keep out rain and let in light. Entirely daylit on all but the most overcast of days, the constantly changing play of light gives the concourse a poetic dimension and also has significant energy and economic advantages, leading to running costs half those of any other British terminal. Energy efficient, environmentally discreet within its rural setting, technologically advanced yet incredibly simple to use and experience, Stansted has become a model for airport planners and designers around the world.

Chek Lap Kok Airport, Hong Kong, 1992-1998
Chek Lap Kok is one of the world’s largest airports and this was among the most ambitious construction projects of modern times. The terminal building extends a concept pioneered at Stansted Airport. With its uncluttered spaces, bathed in light, it forms a spectacular gateway to the city.
Lying at the hub of a global region reaching across Asia and Australasia, Chek Lap Kok is one of the worlds largest airports. Completed in 1998 as Hong Kongs sole air terminal, by 2040 it will handle eighty million passengers per annum - the same number as Londons Heathrow and New Yorks JFK airports combined. Among the most ambitious construction projects of modern times, the land on which the airport stands was once a mountainous island. In a major reclamation programme, its 100-metre peak was reduced to 7 metres above sea level and the island was expanded to four times its original area - equal to the size of the Kowloon peninsula.
The terminal building extends a concept pioneered by the practice at Stansted Airport a model since adopted by airport planners worldwide. It is characterised by a lightweight roof, free of service installations; natural lighting; and the integration beneath the main concourse of baggage handling, environmental services and transportation. With its uncluttered spaces, bathed in light, it forms a spectacular gateway to the city. Equally important to the clarity of the space is the accentuation of natural orientation points both within the building and beyond: departing passengers are aware of the land and the water, and can see the aircraft. Similarly, the airports vaulted roof provides a constant point of reference, whether you are arriving or departing. The direction of the vaults remains constant throughout the building, regardless of the divergent directions that the prongs take, so that the roof itself becomes an aid to navigation. Departing passengers pass through the East Hall, the largest single airport retail space in the world; if an airport on this scale can be thought of as a city in microcosm, then this is its market square.
People reach the airport from Hong Kong via either mainland road or rail links, which cross two new bridges and a causeway to Lantau to the south, those arriving by train alighting at the Ground Transportation Centre at the eastern end of the terminal. The entire journey between city and airport can be completed in a remarkable twenty minutes.

Queen Alia International Airport, Amman, Jordan, 2005
The design for the Queen Alia International Airport combines function, technology and a distinct sense of place to provide a greatly expanded and enhanced gateway to the region.
Retaining the existing runway, the scheme comprises a new terminal building that will bring a sense of clarity to the airport, streamlining circulation and establishing coherent wayfinding. Formally, the building draws on the vernacular tradition of outdoor areas and open-air gardens. These courtyards contain water pools that reflect natural light into the building and provide a comfortable microclimate, as well as a subtle means of establishing orientation inside. Large covered interior spaces form a direct relationship to the external environment and accommodate generous greeting and hospitality areas that are central to the terminal’s cultural programme.
The striking canopy roof has been inspired by the organic form of natural palm trees, while its black external surface is reminiscent of Bedouin tents. Split beams at the column junctions and generous reveals allow daylight to flood deep into the building, creating a dynamic play of light while also offering shelter from direct sunlight. The roof canopy acts as a thermal store to heat and cool the building and also conserves water by collecting rainwater and night time condensation. In addition, banks of photovoltaic panels have the potential to supplement the electricity supply, so reducing the building’s energy consumption.

Beijing Airport, Beijing, China, 2003-2008
The world’s largest and most advanced airport building - not only technologically, but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency and sustainability – Beijing Airport is welcoming and uplifting. A symbol of place, its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form celebrates the thrill of flight and evokes traditional Chinese colours and symbols.
Beijing’s new international terminal is the world’s largest and most advanced airport building - not only technologically, but also in terms of passenger experience, operational efficiency and sustainability. Completed as the gateway to the city for athletes participating in the twenty-ninth Olympiad, it is designed to be welcoming and uplifting. A symbol of place, its soaring aerodynamic roof and dragon-like form celebrate the thrill and poetry of flight and evoke traditional Chinese colours and symbols.
Located between the existing eastern runway and the future third runway, the terminal building and Ground Transportation Centre (GTC) enclose a floor area of 1.3 million square metres and will accommodate an estimated 50 million passengers per annum by 2020. Although conceived on an unprecedented scale, the building’s design expands on the new airport paradigm created by Stansted and Chek Lap Kok. Designed for maximum flexibility to cope with the unpredictable nature of the aviation industry, like its predecessors, it aims to resolve the complexities of modern air travel, combining spatial clarity with high service standards. Public transport connections are fully integrated, walking distances for passengers are short, with few level changes, and transfer times between flights are minimised. Like Chek Lap Kok, the terminal is open to views to the outside and planned under a single unifying roof canopy, whose linear skylights are both an aid to orientation and sources of daylight - the colour cast changing from red to yellow as passengers progress through the building.
The terminal building is one of the world’s most sustainable, incorporating a range of passive environmental design concepts, such as the south-east orientated skylights, which maximise heat gain from the early morning sun, and an integrated environment-control system that minimises energy consumption. In construction terms, its design optimised the performance of materials selected on the basis of local availability, functionality, application of local skills, and low cost procurement. Remarkably, it was designed and built in just four years.
