San Antonio airport expansion designed to be "transformational moment" for city
Global architecture studio Corgan has collaborated with Texas-based Lake Flato for a massive addition to San Antonio's airport that includes references to the geography and historic architecture of the city.
The San Antonio International Airport expansion includes a 17-gate terminal, as well as parking facilities, utility plant and railway infrastructure for the airport in San Antonio, the second-largest city in Texas by population.
It will expand the function of the growing city while uniting two of the other terminals on the site.
The collaborative terminal design by Corgan and Lake Flato, whose principals David Lake and Ted Flato were awarded the 2023 AIA Gold Medal, features a series of structures with slanted roofs overlapping each other, described by the team as "hovering shed roofs".
Its facade will be covered with semi-translucent cladding.
