HCMC – The council responsible for deciding architecture for the passenger terminal of the Long Thanh International Airport project has selected three designs with the highest scores to seek public comment.

The three designs, chosen from nine entries, were made by reputable and experienced consultants that have got involved in some of the major airport terminals in the world, says the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV).

Council members said all the design plans met the basic criteria set out by the council. Some even display an innovative concept of architecture. The Ministry of Transport will display the three winning designs to gather feedback from citizens nationwide.

Below are the three winning designs:

Like a lotus, the terminal is designed by South Korea’s Heerim Architects & Planners Co. It is dotted with light boxes, breaking the monotony of the roof. The outdoor parking lot and the rooftop are utilized as a green park with a large lake in the center as a highlight, which is also inspired by the image of a lotus. The roof of the main hall is designed with a long reach. In addition, the installation of a small roof by the viaduct is relatively harmonious (similar to the layers of a lotus).

The terminal is like a coconut leaf as designed by three companies from Singapore, Vietnam and Japan, with its roof inspired by the signature image of Vietnam’s countryside and riverine culture. The designers want to promote the image of an airport terminal characterized by Vietnamese culture. Inside the departure hall, the counters are designed as boats traveling in the rivers in rural Vietnam. Modern architecture is combined with green space, interior landscape and harmonious use of materials to present the image of a dynamic terminal.
