国际建筑工作室 SOM 为印度班加罗尔的 Kempegowda 国际机场设计了一座航站楼，该航站楼中的元素借鉴了班加罗尔的文化遗产和景观。

SOM 与 Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla (AJSK) 和 Grant Associates 合作设计的这个充满植物的项目被誉为“花园中的航站楼”，旨在为熙熙攘攘的典型国际机场提供另一种宁静的选择。

Global architecture studio SOM has designed a terminal for the Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore, India, that draws on the city's heritage and landscape.
Designed by SOM as a "terminal in a garden", the plant-filled project, created in collaboration with Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla (AJSK), and Grant Associates, aims to propose a calming alternative to the bustle of a typical international airport.

“2 号航站楼（T2）颠覆了人们对机场外观和感觉的所有印象。”设计负责人 Peter Lefkovits说。

“我们注重植根于大自然的丰富感官体验，在熙熙攘攘的国际机场中创造了一片宁静的绿洲。”

"Terminal 2 (T2) inverts every expectation of how an airport can look and feel," design principal Peter Lefkovits told Dezeen.
"With a focus on rich, sensory experiences rooted in nature, we created a calming oasis within the bustle of an international airport."

255,000 平方米的航站楼前侧是交通枢纽，它将成为现有班加罗尔国际机场有限公司（BIAL）与班加罗尔市之间的重要连接点，同时还具备了室外零售、活动和娱乐空间。

在航站楼内部，工作室用悬挂植物和绿色植物装饰工程竹结构，通过屋顶开口创造出明亮通风的室内空间。

Lefkovits 解释说：“受印度班加罗尔传统‘花园城市’传统的启发，客户最初提出了一个简单而迷人的想法：设计一座‘花园中的航站楼’。”

The 255,000-square-metre terminal is fronted by a transit hub that will serve as a key connection point between the existing Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) and Bangalore city, while also accommodating outdoor retail, event and entertainment space.
Inside, the studio adorned the terminal's engineered bamboo structure with hanging plants and greenery, creating bright and airy interiors lit by roof openings.
"Inspired by the 'garden city' heritage of Bengaluru, India, the client originally proposed a simple, yet captivating idea: to design a 'terminal in a garden'," Lefkovits explained.

游客在航站楼内穿行，穿过一系列由桥梁和小径连接的空间，其间穿插着水景和阶梯花园。

“森林带”是一条 90 米宽的景观带，将主楼与航站楼的登机口区分开来。

为了与航站楼的竹子结构相得益彰，整个室内都采用了定制的家具，用当地采购的花岗岩、红砖和传统的藤条编织而成。

Lefkovits 说：“我们希望将旅客在旅途中的每一步都与大自然联系起来，从根本上重新构想旅行体验。”

Visitors navigate the terminal through a sequence of spaces connected by bridges and pathways, interspersed by water features and stepped gardens.
The "forest belt", a 90-metre-wide landscaped stretch, provides distinction between the main block – housing check-in and security – and the terminal's gates.
Complementing the terminal's bamboo structure, bespoke furnishings clad with locally sourced granite, red bricks and traditionally woven rattan were used throughout the interior.
"The idea was to radically reimagine the travel experience by connecting passengers to nature along each step of their journey," Lefkovits said.

据工作室介绍，可持续发展战略的实施使航站楼能够完全依靠可再生能源运行。

Lefkovits解释说：“（航站楼）还实施了复杂、全面的可持续设计策略。”

“其中一些策略包括广泛的太阳能共享和智能建筑系统，以及可再生材料的使用。”

According to the studio, the implementation of sustainable strategies enables the terminal to run solely on renewable energy.
"[The terminal] also implements sophisticated, holistic sustainable design strategies," Lefkovits explained.
"Some of these strategies include extensive solar sharing and intelligent building systems, as well as the use of renewable materials."

该航站楼使机场的年旅客吞吐量增加了 2500 万人次，其结构系统的设计还能满足未来改建的需要。

The terminal increases the airport's annual capacity by 25 million passengers, with the structural system also designed to enable future alterations as needed.
