Ampliación y Remodelación del Aeropuerto Internacional de Mérida

PROYECT OVERVIEW

Discover what makes it unique

From the perspective that “an airport is a machine for processing passengers,” reconfiguring and expanding an existing airport to respond to new regulations and increased traffic was a major challenge, as was accurately addressing functional requirements and sensitively addressing perceptual ones. The project included a double portico for platforms, departure lounges, baggage claim, and circulation areas.

Natural light and an interior forest were prioritized, with artificial light integrated into columns and ceiling panels to guide visitors; in the lounges, it blends with the sky and the airplanes. The porticos, like asymmetrical umbrellas, provide rhythm and capture the surrounding landscape.
