SOM Designs New Terminal for Bangalore’s Kempegowda International Airport

US architect Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) has unveiled its design for a terminal at Kempegowda International Airport in Bangalore, the capital of India’s southern Karnataka state. The first phase of construction will create a 255,000 sq m building serving 25 million passengers a year.

SOM describes the building as a “terminal within a garden”, complete with trees, local and exotic plants, ponds, waterfalls and a shopping area within a three-storey “forest belt”.
