Merida Airport

Sheer and dynamic "An airport is a machine for processing passengers" Reconfigure and expand an airport in functions to suit new aviation regulations and increased volume passengers served, a task is quite interesting, taking into account of course the logical time and budget constraints and times available for works by the impact of this on the construction project. The project consisted on the design of a double portico vehicle platforms, waiting rooms last, baggage claim and circulations horizontal, vertical and oblique. The intention was to build the widest possible lighting natural and participation of a splendid forest between content the corridors of the building. Artificial lighting was available integrated as vertical cracks in the columns of the circulations and woven horizontally in the false ceiling of the waiting rooms. In the circulation, the lines of light beams and columns on floors and ceilings create a series of frames that accentuate lighting the way, in the waiting rooms, the reflection of the beam lines is dissolved outside blending with the sky and planes. The porches were designed as asymmetric umbrella whose columns give meaning and rhythm to traffic and diffuse reflections in lower faces capture the surrounding landscape.
