Jiayuguan Airport T2 Terminal

Design Concept: "Silken Wings, Clouds Follow the Returning Geese"

Inspired by the poetic symbol of the "frontier goose" (塞雁) from ancient Chinese literature, the design deconstructs and reinterprets this cultural motif to craft a modern spatial narrative for the airport. The goose, often depicted in frontier poetry, embodies both the majestic landscapes of the region and the deeper meaning of homecoming and reunion.



Key Design Highlights:



1.Biomimetic Architecture: The ceiling mimics the fluidity of goose wings through streamlined, wing-like canopies.

2.Cultural Texture: Perforated wood-toned aluminum panels recreate the luminous effect of silk, while parametric 3D ceiling systems digitally reconstruct traditional patterns.

3.Symmetrical Harmony: The skylight’s circular glow echoes the "flying goose formation," and undulating wall motifs mirror the rhythmic cadence of ancient dougong brackets.

Design Value:

By translating cultural heritage into contemporary design language, this functional transport hub transcends into a vessel of regional identity. Steel structures and dynamic light interplay evoke the allegory of "geese returning home," merging tradition with cutting-edge innovation.
