EXPERIENCE IN THE REGIONAL TERMINAL<br />
258<br />
This thesis presents a research-for-design investigation into types of, and structural systems for, airport terminal buildings, with particular<br />
attention to air traffic development in China. In the course of its ongoing development, China is developing numerous regional and international<br />
airports, while upgrading and expanding a number of small and medium-sized airports. The design of passenger terminal buildings is of key<br />
importance in these initiatives, not only in facilitating the processing of passengers and luggage but also in determining user experience, conveying<br />
important first impressions and representing local contexts. The structural system chosen is an essential factor affecting the design of the terminal<br />
building and will directly determine much of its final shape. Nonetheless, systematic overviews of terminal building types and suitable structural<br />
systems are still lacking. To address this need, this thesis presents a typology analysis of terminal building types, with an emphasis on the size and<br />
configuration of airports and the design of terminal roof systems, and on applicable choices of large-span roof structures.<br />
