Long-winged big bird airport
Santiago Calatrava programme
長翅膀的大鳥機場
聖地亞哥·卡拉特拉瓦方案
The structure is light and beautiful, and it is the design style of Calatrava.
結構輕盈優美，是卡拉特拉瓦的設計風格。
At the airport’s original hexagonal base, he made up a missing corner of the hexagon, making the overall shape of the airport a giant bird full of momentum, ready to take off.
他在機場原有的六邊形基地上，補齊了六邊形的一個缺角，讓機場整體形態化身為一隻充滿動勢的巨鳥，準備起飛。
The roof of the building entrance extends outwards to form a building canopy that conforms to the architectural form and provides convenience to passengers.
建築入口屋頂延伸向外，形成建築雨棚，既順應了建築形式，又為乘客提供了方便。
The internal structure of the airport forms a neat sequence of depth inward, which makes the entire atrium full of spatial order.
機場內部結構形成了縱深向內的整齊序列，讓整個中庭充滿了空間秩序感。
The biggest feature of the program is that the terminal can provide passengers with all the airport operations, including security check-in, boarding, taking-off and pick-up and baggage handling.
該方案最大特色，是這座航站樓能為乘客們提供全部機場運營服務，其中包括安檢、登機、起降和提取行李等操作。
This groundbreaking, independent terminal allows passengers to sense the function and space as soon as they enter, making it easy for passengers to operate accordingly.
這個具有突破性的獨立航站樓，讓乘客一進入就能感知到功能和空間的佈置，方便乘客進行相應操作。
This will break the original mature function layout of the airport, and the cost of the program will not be too low. It depends on whether the Chicago government is the true love powder of Calatrava.
而這將會打破機場原有的成熟功能佈置，並且方案造價不會太低，就看芝加哥政府是不是卡拉特拉瓦的真愛粉了。
Large span cave airport
Foster + Partners, Epstein, Moreno
大跨度的山洞機場
Foster + Partners，Epstein，Moreno
Foster, Partners, Epstein and Moreno joined forces to create Chicago’s new man-made landscape, the Cave Airport.
Foster 、Partners、Epstein和Moreno四手聯彈，創造了芝加哥新的人造景觀——山洞機場。
The design of the building’s skin is simple, the top of the ceiling is made of steel and the glass is sandwiched between them.
建築表皮設計簡潔，天花頂由鋼筋作骨，玻璃夾在其中。
The three huge white steel arches are connected in one piece, and the arc is beautiful on the outside, like a huge cave in the interior.
三個巨大的白色鋼拱，連成一體，在外部看弧度優美，在內部猶如深處巨大洞穴。
Foster said: I am designing this project with my love for flying and my love for the city. The city’s energy, extraordinary location, music culture and outdoor sculpture are deeply attracted. I am.
福斯特說：我懷著對飛行的熱愛，和對這座城市的熱愛，來設計這個項目，這座城市所具有的能量，非凡的地理位置，音樂文化和戶外雕塑，都深深地吸引了我。

The dull airport plan, due to the shimmering light from the roof, creates a feeling of inner glory.
平淡的機場方案，因屋頂透出的微光，而產生一種內有乾坤的感覺。
Steady is the label of this old American SOM architectural firm.
穩健，是這個美國老牌SOM建築事務所的標籤。
And some critics say: The low roof in this scheme is like a curved waffle.
SOM is very practical in response to the question: this design can guarantee that it will never exceed the government’s budget. This seems to make people feel the design of a card.
而有評論家說：這個方案裡低矮的屋頂，彷彿一個彎曲的華夫餅。
SOM面對質疑很實際回應：這個設計方案能保證絕不超出政府的預算。這話似乎讓人感覺在影射某卡的設計。
After entering the waffle terminal, it is a two-story high-rise space where passengers can experience a romantic experience that is completely different from the outdoors.
進入華夫餅航站樓後，是兩層通高的大空間，乘客能感受到與室外截然不同的浪漫體驗。
The undulating ceilings, combined with the diffusely uniform skylight, create a dynamic sense of space.
波浪般起伏不定的天花板，加上漫射的均勻天光，營造了一種動態的空間感受。
The structural columns and the undulating long-span roof are like a large piece of wood planted at the airport, because this once had a historical memory of the orchard.
結構柱和起伏的大跨度屋頂，猶如大一片的樹林種在機場，因為這曾有果園的歷史記憶。
There are also a lot of plants in the room, which redefine the way the airport sees green plants. The four seasons are different.
室內也種有挺多的植物，重新定義了機場看綠植的方式，四季樹景各不同。
It also offers space for fitness and meditation, making it the first transportation hub in the United States.
這裡還提供有健身和冥想功能的空間場所，是美國第一個這樣做的交通樞紐。
Long thorny wooden airport
Studio ORD
長刺的木構機場
Studio ORD
From a distance, the sharp lines make it look like a long thorn-shaped three-cone flying saucer.
遠遠看去，凌厲的線條讓它看起來像一隻長刺的三錐形飛碟。
The design team is a studio ORD from Chicago, with a design home advantage.
設計團隊是來自芝加哥本土的Studio ORD，有設計主場優勢。
The three-cone shape of the building greatly improves the efficiency and connectivity of the airport.
三錐形的建築形體，極大提高了機場運輸效率和連通性。
The direction of the wooden structure inside the airport is faint, and the passengers are marked with functional orientation.
機場內部的木構褶皺方向，隱約為乘客們標明功能導向。
The roof spans 100 feet and is supported by a Y-shaped structural column that ensures space flexibility.
屋頂跨度有100英尺，由Y形結構柱支撐，這種結構能確保空間靈活性。
Studio ORD likes to use the concept of nature to design, this program uses a warm wooden structure as the skeleton of the ceiling to replace the cold steel material.
Studio ORD喜歡運用自然理念做設計，這次方案用溫暖的木質結構作為天花板的骨架，來代替冰冷的鋼鐵材料。
The use of wood is to reflect the natural design concept, and the second is to improve the insulation performance of the terminal building and reduce energy consumption.
用木材一是為了體現自然的設計理念，二是能提高航站樓的保溫性能，減少能耗損失。
Mountain cascading airport
Fentress+EXP+Brook+Garza
山脈層層疊機場
Fentress+EXP+Brook+Garza
Fentress+EXP+Brook+Garza teamed up with the white airport solution, and at first glance, there is a simple version of the Calatrava program that is both visually pleasing.
Fentress+EXP+Brook+Garza聯手設計的白色機場方案，乍一眼看，有種簡約版的卡拉特拉瓦方案既視感。
The bright bar-shaped skylights and the translucent facades of the large glass allow the entire airport to be bathed in natural light.
明朗的條形天窗，透亮的立面大玻璃，讓整個機場沐浴在自然光下。
The advantage of the program is obvious, that is, it can be cheaper than the cost of Calatrava.
方案優點很明顯，就是能比卡拉特拉瓦的方案造價便宜些。
The city is not cool, just look at the airport!
Beijing Daxing International Airport, which has the “Seven Wonders of the New World”, is magic!
城市酷不酷，就看機場了！
前有“新世界七大奇蹟”的北京大興國際機場，魔幻！
After the shock of the global Singapore Sparks Changi Airport, brain hole!
後有震撼全球的新加坡瀑布星耀樟宜機場，腦洞！
The airport is the face of a city, and the whole world looks at it. The airport is no longer just a transportation hub, it is like a paradise in a city.
機場就是一座城市的臉面，全世界都看著。機場不再單是交通樞紐，它就像一個城市的樂園。
As the study of the city’s severe patient Koolhaas wrote in “Ordinary City”:
The airport is one of the simplest and most individual elements of an ordinary city, and can be a symbolic symbol inscribed in the collection of the world.
The development trend of the airport is becoming more and more self-contained, sometimes even out of the city. They are replacing cities and sometimes they are the cause of ordinary cities.
正如研究城市的重度患者庫哈斯在《普通城市》中寫道：
機場是普通城市最簡單，最具有個性的元素之一，並可以成為具有像徵意義的符號銘刻在世界的集合中。
機場的發展趨勢是越來越自成一體，有時甚至脫離城市存在。它們正在代替城市，有時成為普通城市存在的原因。
For the “formal obedience function” of traditional architecture, the public has not paid much. The novel form of rapid stimulation of the senses is the beautiful design that can impress the public.
If the city wants to take off, start with the airport design.
對於傳統建築學的「形式服從功能」，民眾已經不太買單了。快速刺激感官的新穎形式，才是能打動大眾的美好設計模樣。
城市要想起飛，先從機場設計開始。
