✅Future capacity: 110 million passengers, 4 runways, parking for 270 aircraft
✅Investment: US$12.5 billion

✅Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects (#ZHA), BIA reflects Ethiopia’s diverse #regions through unique materials and colors. Inspired by the Great Rift Valley, a #central spine connects terminals and piers for smooth #passenger transfers.🤩

⚙️Key Features:
✅Elevation 400m lower than Bole Airport → improves aircraft performance & fuel efficiency
✅Natural ventilation & solar shading for sustainable operation
✅Stormwater management via wetlands → enhances biodiversity
✅On-site energy production with photovoltaic arrays

How to Design a Bus Terminal 🚍

🙏 Bus #terminals aren’t just# platforms and buses. They’re about flow, timing, hierarchy, and human behavior — all in #constant #motion.👾

📥Good terminal design is about:
• Clear zoning & circulation
• Separating passengers from buses
• Smart concourse planning
• Efficient vertical movement

🔻It’s not just architecture — it’s #organized movement.🎮

Why our brains respond to WOOD

🔩Wood does more than define a space, it #influences how we #experience it.🔘

✅Research suggests that natural materials like wood can support calmer nervous #system #responses, reduced stress, and a greater sense of ease. The brain #recognizes wood as familiar and grounding, responding to its warmth, variation, and honesty in ways #synthetic materials often cannot.⏬

✅This is why material selection is a design #decision with #lasting impact. It #shapes not only form and function, but the way a space is lived in over time.

✅🛸“Our Brain Loves Wood.”🎮
