After rapid growth in passenger traffic, Zagreb Airport needs a new terminal. A master plan is developed. Afterwards a competition is held to find the architectural solution for the building. Requested are 6.5 MPAX, with the possibility of expansion. Additionally the terminal has to suit high demands on aesthetical and functional needs.
Given are the site and the floorspace size. To deliver are the terminal building and a concept for growth.

I proposed a wide-spanned shell, resembling a one-winged plane or a bird. Giving the interior functions flexibility for the permanent changes, and maintaining a permanent visual identity during those.
