Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, Beijing Daxing is a new international airport in the Daxing district,
46 km south of the city centre. Initially serving 45 million passengers per year, Beijing Daxing will
accommodate 72 million travellers by 2025 and is planned for further expansion to serve up to 100
million passengers. The airport’s 700,000 m² passenger terminal includes an 80,000 m² ground
transportation centre offering direct connections to Beijing. Echoing principles within traditional Chinese
architecture that organise interconnected spaces around a central courtyard. Six flowing forms within the
terminal’s vaulted roof reach to the ground to support the structure and bring natural light in, directing all
passengers towards the central courtyard. Natural light also enters the terminal via a network of linear
skylights that provide an “intuitive system of navigation throughout the building,” said ZHA.

Architectural firm BDR bureau have completed the
transformation of the new Enrico Fermi School in
Turin. The existing school building, built in the
1960s, has been extended and functionally
rethought. A new steel structure “creates an
inhabited envelope where the terraces are an
integral part of the teaching programme, embraces
new connective spaces and works as a passive
shield,” said the architects. The ground floor is
designed as a civic centre, where the different
functions are gathered in the atrium, directly
connected with the garden and the two entrances.
On the two upper floors, the atrium accommodates
recreational and collective spaces, and educational
activities are organised in clusters.ENRICO FERMI SCHOOL, ITALY
BDR BUREAUFoster + Partners have reveled their vision for the
Le Dome winery in Saint-Emilion. Nestled in the
hills of Bordeaux, the design aims to blend with
the UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Landscape
of the region. The circular-plan building, which
sits at the end of a tree-lined avenue, has a form
rooted in a “desire to create a structure that
simultaneously looks both inwards and
outwards,” said the architects. It provides an
efficient space for wine production “while
engaging in dialogue with the surrounding
landscape.” The upper level forms the social heart
of the building, with tasting tables and
entertainment spaces – all wrapped by
360-degree views of the adjoining vineyards.LE DOME WINERY, FRANCE
