Coop Himmelb(l)au, in collaboration with Dar Al-Handasah Consultants (Shair & Partners), has been nominated to design the architectural statement for Al Maktoum International Airport. The airport’s design will reflect the vision of the leading client, Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP).
The airport is expected to be completed in 2032 with 260 million passengers per year after completion in the ultimate phase.
Advanced technologies like AI and new design methods will give the new Al Maktoum International Airport life. Such a deployment is meant to offer passengers a next-level flying experience.
“The new airport in Dubai is not just a transport HUB. It will offer a new travel experience for the citizens of the world. It is a place where people with different cultures and backgrounds from across the globe come together and connect. The design of the airport creates a welcoming and inclusive environment that fosters interaction and unity.” stated Coop Himmelb(l)au.
The airport’s design mixes traditional features with modern materials. According to the design team, this approach to design not only respects Dubai’s vision for the future but also reminds one of the city’s commitment to preserving its cultural identity.
