This unique design was the winner of a bid organised by Infraero - Empresa Brasileira de Infraestrutura Aeroportuária and will strenghten São Paulo’s status as a key South American hub and link to the wider world.
The striking design of Terminal 3 - made to resemble an airplane - comes from more than a desire to symbolically connect the building to its function but a requirement of the tender that the terminal be T shaped. This format led the RMJM team to create a one-off design that allows for functionality and beauty. The terminal shaped like an airplane has the potential to become an iconic São Paulo building.
