Skidmore, Owings & Merill, the American architecture and urban planning firm that's more widely known as SOM, has come up with a stunning airport terminal design for Kempegowda International Airport in the southern Indian city of Bengaluru that prioritizes the use of greenery and eco-friendly power.
Terminal 2 at the airport, created as part of a partnership effort also involving Grant Associates and famed designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla, is inspired by Bengaluru's nickname and identity as the "Garden City." Accordingly, this airport terminal design is filled with greenery, with supporting designs utilizing earthy materials like bamboo.
What's more, this airport terminal is fully powered by renewable energy, ensuring that its sustainability credentials extend beyond aesthetics into its very operational capacity.
