In collaboration with MSB Arquitectos. The proposed airBaltic Terminal in Riga was designed in response to the 7.2mppa forecast by 2015. Our proposal allows up to 40 air traffic movements per hour; the passenger terminal was conceived to function as one independent terminal, where all traffic Schengen and Non-Schengen will pass.The result is a building comprised of a diamond grid where the diagonals manage the spatial organization, strongly related to local traditions.We have considered the spatial needs for each of the functions required for the successful operation of a modern International Airport ensuring that the terminal layout operates as smoothly as possible and maximises its potential capacity.Our aim was to deliver an airport terminal that reflects the community’s values, and exceed customer expectations. We believe that our design successfully combines airline aspirations, national charisma and its development, passenger flows and technical / operational requirements.
