EXPRESSING LOCAL PRIDE AND IDENTITY

Pascall+Watson’s design for Tiruchirappalli International Airport, located in the heart of Tamil Nadu, is an architectural achievement that effectively combines deep-rooted cultural influences with modern design elements.

The project, shortlisted for the 2018 World Architecture News Awards in the Transport – Future Projects category, stands as a testament to sustainable innovation and aesthetic appeal.

Drawing inspiration from Trichy’s rich architectural heritage and local customs, Pascall+Watson successfully infused age-old temple architecture elements to create a distinctive identity for the airport. Notable design highlights include an expressive unique structural roof form and multi-layered façade, showcasing geometry, textures, and colours that reflect the city’s traditional style. The interior emphasises natural light and landscaped gardens to create a soothing atmosphere.

“A bold and inspired design approach that truly speaks of its time and place, the unique colours and vibrancy of the roof design is our way of celebrating the historic building and culture that people identify the region with”
