Terminal 2: Anatomy of a Modern Transit Hub
Terminal 2: Anatomy of a Modern Transit Hub
Terminal 2 is not an architectural adjunct to an airport; it is a logistical organism engineered for the rapid transfer of humanity at scale. In contrast to its predecessors, it uses throughput algorithms, biometric gates, modular traffic zoning. Here’s a dissection of their work.
1. Spatial Logic
Terminal 2 commonly uses of the linear or pier design approach, allowing for a one way flow. Entrance nodes, security funnels and check-in counters are laid out to avoid crossing paths. The spatial hierarchy cuts movement into chunks: arrival, clearance, dwell, embarkation.
2. Security Apparatus
Adaptive-scanner tiered checkpoints are convergent of (CT scanners, millimeter wave). ID-based verification is replaced with biometric authentication (facial recognition, iris scan). The topology guards threats from being converged with mass areas, and avoiding cascade failure under breach.
