Foster + Partners partnered with The Red Sea Development Company (TRSDC) to build the Red Sea International Airport, which has just begun construction in Saudi Arabia, set for completion in 2022. It aims to be the world’s most ambitious luxury tourism development, offering an exclusive experience of unparalleled diversity for discerning global travelers, complete with a dolphin-shaped hub that consists of five fluid dune-shaped roofs that form the airport itself in a radial layout.
The five dune-shaped pods boast departure suites that are arranged to allow an easy transition from their cars to the plane. To be more specific, when passengers are dropped off outside the terminal, they are able to quickly enter one of the departure pods, which also include spas and restaurants enveloped in a soothing atmosphere. The main terminal is going to be essentially a green oasis with an indigenous planted garden, powered 100 percent with renewable energy.
