Terminal Roofs / Ceilings in Airports (SIN, HKG, PVG)





Airport Terminals in Asia are the gateways to their countries. There is a lot of national pride and a lot of money is spent on the airports to ensure that visitors are awed and wowed when they arrive and depart from these places. The trend has been to have unique ceilings to these cavernous spaces. They unify the space and assist in wayfinding.

1. SIN - Singapore Changi Terminal 3 with its over 900 skylights letting in natural daylight and making for an interesting ceilingscape.

2. HKG - Hong Kong. A Norman Foster design.

3. PVG - Shanghai Pudong, the international gateway into China's business hub. This is still one of my favorite ceilings in a terminal building. I just love the blue and white interplay. Architect: Paul Andreu
