The fusion of creativity and technology in airport transformation

“Building airports as holistic experiences, we prioritise creativity with sustainability, fostering true reflections of excellence in passenger engagement.”  Ar. Sanjay Surya, Studio Director at Creative Group LLP.

We delve into the transformative approach that seeks to integrate cutting-edge technology, security features, and sustainability into the architectural fabric of airports highlighted by Creative Group LLP, illuminating the intricate fusion of aesthetics and functionality in airport design.

Sustainability and energy efficiency

In airport design, our methodology prioritises sustainability and energy efficiency. The Chennai terminal epitomises this approach with its H-shaped plan, maximising green views and ensuring ample daylight. The innovative, responsive façade, featuring seven visible facets, breaks from norms, enhancing the passenger experience. High-performance glass controls solar impact, ensuring comfort and reducing energy costs. Sustainability is woven into every aspect, making these terminals environmentally responsible. Blending tradition with innovation yields groundbreaking, aesthetically pleasing, and energy-efficient airport terminals.

With a focus on elevating passenger satisfaction, we have led transformative airport projects, including top-ranking terminals like Chennai, Raipur, Vadodara, and Agartala airports. We ensure seamless journeys by emphasising intuitive wayfinding, art installations, and diverse retail/dining options. Whether renovating, expanding, or creating new terminals, collaboration with clients and stakeholders is paramount. Our commitment to minimal operational disruption sets our projects apart. Crafting airports as holistic experiences, we prioritise creativity with sustainability, fostering true reflections of excellence in passenger engagement.

Balance the aesthetic and functional aspects

In crafting airport designs, we prioritise a harmonious blend of aesthetics and functionality, ensuring a welcoming and efficient environment for passengers and staff. Our facades showcase architectural creativity and maximise natural light, providing passengers with exterior views and enhancing wayfinding. The terminals achieve vast, well-lit spaces by integrating efficient façade glass and skylights while minimising energy consumption. The sleek, aerodynamic structure, inspired by avian forms, emphasises a smooth transition for passengers. We use high-performance materials like tinted, toughened glass and translucent panels to create a symbolic, high-tech appearance, reflecting meticulous attention to long-term maintenance and quality assurance.

In our design philosophy, crafting airports as iconic landmarks involves meticulous consideration of local culture. The proposed Varanasi airport draws inspiration from the Holy Ganga, incorporating fluidity into roof and canopy structures that mirror the river’s continuous flow. Inspired by riverside boats, the Jaali pattern forms a unique cultural motif. Triangular peaks echo local temples, establishing a connection with the community.

Latest technology and security features

Our architectural approach integrates cutting-edge technology and advanced security features into airport designs, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Recognising technology’s pivotal role in aviation, we leverage machine learning algorithms to analyse vast datasets, enhancing safety measures. Incorporating the latest security features like pre-board screening and CCTV becomes integral to the architectural vision. Harmonising these advancements ensures a unified, secure airport environment, meeting operational needs and enhancing the overall safety, efficiency, and passenger experience.
