Airport terminal in Gostomel

Project idea

The theme was chosen by using the legislation basis of the order of the state
government of Ukraine about the renovation of the existing airport the Kyiv-Antonov airfield in Gostomel. The
prescription describes the creation of a new runway and technopark. Building plot 25 kilometers northwest of Kyiv.
The airport is used by Antonov Airlines and as a flight test base. My proposal consists of the airport terminal project
and master plan. The project was created by using the next sources: State Construction Standards, albums of
building structures, and manuals of creating airports and master plans.

Project description

slightly offset to the left of the center and embodied in a horizontally placed pyramid with a truncated eastward point.
