Airports don't have to be stressful: Here’s how | Kempegowda International Airport T2
Ғылым және технология
Could airports - and their landscapes - become destinations in their own right? That question drove design of Bengaluru, India’s Kempegowda International Airport, the subject our special edition FRAME Views Biophilic Transit.
SOM’s design of Kempegowda International Airport’s Terminal 2 utilizes local elements and biophilia to highlight Bengaluru’s rich history and culture, providing travellers with a distinct experience. Facilities like retail and entertainment spaces are augmented by a forested pick-up area and civic square covered by a canopy, which the gates are separate from. The terminal’s oasis-like ‘forest belt’ incorporates indigenous flora and two-story pavilions influenced by Indian cane weavings - biophilic design that’s paired with materials like brick, bamboo and glass. Plantings, skylights and bamboo-clad steel members give the interior, which incorporates sustainable practices like rainwater harvesting and the use of renewable energy, an immersive quality. Pointing out the hectic nature of travel and airport spaces, Peter Lefkovits, design principal at SOM, says, ‘We felt combining this natural environment would help create a much more serene calming environment - almost the anti-airport experience.’

That airport still looks like a rendering design image. What a sustainable and beautiful design. Kempegowda International Airport looks amazing

Anything Western in design is non-harmonious, non-symbiotic and thus INFERIOR and unsustainable. A forest is naturally sustainable, a garden is not. The plants in that stupid Western design have already started dying.

@@prashant5527 stop it bro. Mumbai Airport is much better than many airports around the world, even better than NYC AIRPORT. Also Bengaluru airport is new & it's made by our current government with **indian architecture** so it's obvious that it will look beautiful but mumbai airport is also good & much better than all other airports in india except Bengaluru airport. Mumbai Airport is based on western architecture & Bengaluru airport is based on indian architecture.

Very great design. Before a decade , we wanted to built glossy glass and granite fitted infrastructures. Shift to this natural and serene experience is very much welcoming.
The part that will really blow people's mind is how cheap it was to build it , it cost $1.2 billion now compare that to $ 6 billion for the renovation of jfk terminal and $38 billion for the new dubai airport

The city is have nothing to visit now. 10 year ago this city was a growing IT hub with 100s of garden and lakes. Now due to urbanization 90% of gardens and lakes are converted into apartment and offices. You will only see glass buildings. Instead there is nearby city called manglore which have art and culture

Bangalore still has the biggest parks of India such as Lalbagh and cubbon park. Visit Sankey Tank , Yelahanka Lake, Hebbal lake and many more lakes which are pretty well maintained. Visit Bannerghatta national park with Safari. Take a trip to Nandi hills for a beautiful cool breeze. You can also add para gliding . Bangalore Palace is also a major attraction.Along with this there are many ancient temples like Nandi bogeshwara, Someshwara etc which are worth a visit to see ancient architecture these are some natural or ancient sight seeing places of Bangalore. Now speaking to the latest ones there are hundreds of micro breweries with some of the best breweries in the world. Visit Brigade Road, Koramangala for the best night life if you are a party animal . Visit Malleshwaram, Jaynagar for authentic shopping. Have food at some of the classic restaurants like Vidyarti Bhavan, CTR, Brahmins cafe etc. Also there are thousands of multi cuisine restaurants everywhere to satisfy your taste buds . The presence of giant malls and multiplexes shouldn't disappoint you either ... Please visit Bengaluru and the beautiful Kempegowda Airport...

Just a week ago, I was at the T2 of Bengaluru airport. When I entered terminal, I was simply awestruck and my jaw just dropped!!!
It is very unique. Loved it when I was there earlier this year. Hope it is maintained well over the years.
Bengaluru airport is really one of the best in the world, the feel, the food, the facilities, seriously, even France Charles De Gaulle fails in comparision, the only airport that gave me similar vibes was Atlanta, GA, USA.
OMG! I was there in November (2023). It wasn't like that then. This is great. Surely this is the most sophisticated airport I've ever visited. Though I haven't visited quite a lot. Nevertheless it was really a praiseworthy airport. ❤
Beautiful Airport... Green, Natural & comfy
Props to the Engineers, designers and worker for this beautiful airport rather than giving whole credit to the government this first one to deserve the respect are those people whose faces are unknown.
Proud of Indian heritage
So thoughtful and inclusive of all.
The design is absolutely stunning! 💖🙌🙌🙌
