A Badly Made Landmark Terminal: Form Over Function

An example of a poorly designed terminal: a landmark terminal where form takes precedence. The roof is an exaggerated, twisted curved surface, resulting in many low, irregular corners and views obstructed by structures indoors. Passengers inside cannot see the aircraft or find the boarding gates, and signs are fragmented by the curved ceiling. Form has overridden function. Avoid: treating this image as a positive example, sacrificing indoor clear height and views for external appearance, placing structures in the center of circulation paths, or assuming that roof shape equates to airport identity.

一個示範錯誤的畫面:屋頂是誇張的扭曲曲面,室內因此出現許多低矮的畸零角落與被結構擋住的視線,旅客在裡面看不到飛機也找不到登機門,標示被曲面天花切得零碎。造型蓋過了流程。避免:把這個畫面當成正面示範、為了外觀犧牲室內的淨高與視線、讓結構落在動線的中央、以為屋頂造型等於機場的識別。
