 The structure is imbued with responses to the local
setting, history, and culture.
Gracious curbside drop-off zones designed for large
parties of accompanying well-wishers accommodate
traditional Indian arrival and departure ceremonies.
Regional patterns and textures are subtly integrated
into the terminals architecture at all scales.
From the articulated coffered treatment on the
headhouse columns and roof surfaces to the intricate jali
window screens that filter dappled light into the
concourses, Terminal 2 demonstrates the potential for a

 The construction site of the new terminal building
was located in close proximity to the existing
terminal which had to remain fully operational
during construction.
This site requirement inspired the elongated X-
shape plan of the terminal, which could both
mold around existing structures and incorporate
modular designs to accommodate rapid and
phased construction.
This innovative form also allows for the
consolidation of important passenger processing,
baggage handling, and retail/dining functions at
the center of the terminal.
On each floor, radiating piers permit the shortest
possible walking distances from the center of the
terminal to boarding areas, while also maximizing
the terminals perimeter for aircraft gates.
