India’s urban boom demands an urgent shift to net-zero buildings
As India's urban population approaches 843 million by 2050, NIUA and RMI emphasise the importance of developing net-zero carbon infrastructure from the start, thereby aligning growth with climate goals.
More than just about aesthetics!
This interaction explores the key considerations in tensile material selection, factors to be considered while designing tensile structures, and how they drive the net-zero goals of airports.
Airports must be living ecosystems that promote sustainability!
As global aviation confronts the reality of climate change, airports, despite their status as symbols of progress and connection, must now lead the charge towards sustainability. Ar. Gurpreet Shah and Prof. Charanjit Shah of Creative Group LLP elucidate the design strategies for green and net-zero airports.
Specify passive fire protection for façade systems with clarity

BIM-enabled terminal designs
Airports are perhaps the most sophisticated of transport hubs. However, they stand out as one of the most complex and demanding projects, given the need to incorporate diverse infrastructure systems like terminals, taxiways, aprons, carparks, etc. Traditional methods of airport construction present several challenges, such as high costs, vast data handling, operational disruptions, lack of coordination among stakeholders, and, to top it all, design errors. With these shortfalls and the increasing global demand for air transport, architects and structural engineers are on the verge of pushing their limits to rethink airport construction. This is where Building Information Modeling (BIM) is proving to be a game-changer!
Integrating green goals into airport design and development
Aviation experts Rahul Khanna and Divya Verma examine how sustainable design, circular principles, and innovation influence future-ready, green airports.
Airport design requires a holistic approach!
The design of an airport is not solely for aesthetic value! It influences everything from airport function to passenger experience. Ar. Amit Palia of SJ-SMEC elucidates how the architectural design of an airport impacts its passenger experience.
