Rain Vortex Airport Roof Design

The document outlines the design of a glass-and-steel thin-shell grid shell roof for an airport, featuring an irregular toroidal form and an indoor waterfall. It highlights the integration of BIPV panels for renewable energy, a rainwater harvesting system, and the use of indigenous plant species for sustainability. Additionally, it details the structural joinery and various functional areas within the airport terminal, enhancing passenger experience and environmental efficiency.
