Dalaman / Devlet Hava Meydanları İşletmesi / 120.000m² / National Competition 1999

The form inspired by birds, sails and airplanes is intended to leave the land and air sides transparent so that the personnel and passengers can relax with nature and natural light.
Considering the Mediterranean climate, metal sun shading elements was used on all facades. The wide fringes of the main roof create large areas protected from the sun and rain.
Inside and outside the terminal, natural sounds and coolness are created using pools.
The shadow of the wide roof form is functional along with the hot water panels, photovoltaic energy batteries and natural light spots and visibility.
