1994 · Osaka, Japan

Kansai International Airport

A long, curving 1994 terminal on an artificial island in Osaka Bay, notable for its roof span and immense check-in hall.

It realizes a vast roof under conditions of settlement, earthquakes, salt exposure, and marine infrastructure.

Arrival and departure routes are clearly separated and reconnected in plan and section.

It is a leading 1990s example of the airport conceived as a city under one roof.
