Dulles Airport • Architect: Eero Saarinen • Engineer: the civil engineering firm Ammann and Whitney • Year: 1962 • Place: Chantilly, VA • Size: 11,830 acres (47.9km2)
- check-in concourse at Dulles Airport designed by Eero Saarinen and refurbished in 2000 by Skidmore Owings and Merrill benefits from high levels of natural light - is regarded by many as the world’s first terminal designed specifically for jet travel - minimize walking distances and maximize views of the aircraft on adjacent runaways - As a result there are no columns inside the terminal and to avoid reflections on the glass walls, the perimeter glazing is angled at about 70 degrees - the original design was a large two-storey terminal with check-in counters and shops in the centre - Passengers moved through the building at an elevated level with baggage handling below - high-speed-people-mover system - the original terminal was designed for 12 million passenger movements a year. Recent extensions to the Saarinen design plus the construction of new terminal buildings have increased the capacity to 40 million - full body scanners - video recognition software that measures the number of people in line and how long it is taking them to pass through the checkpoint - designed by French company Blue Eye Video

- large transportation centre - rail, bus, car and taxi services congregate, is directly linked to two new terminal buildings: one for domestic and the other for international flights - providing access to the air - Linked to high-speed train and local train and bus services, they will see many travelers pass through the airport en route to other destinations. - the transportation centre provides a memorable bird-like image for weary passengers - difference in expressions: has a golf course, spa, private sleeping rooms, ice skating rink, a casino, indoor gardens and a museum - natural light is admitted via the enormous glazed atrium to all six levels of the Centre. - the Transportation Centre is constructed (for safety reason) partly below ground, and only the curved roof of the Great Hall breaks the skyline - Geometry, openness and light are the main characteristics of the design - reduces energy use by manipulating the shape and orientation of the building according to the sun’s path - extensive glazing in walls and roof with solar protection provided by movable louvers
