Sure, here is the translation of the provided text into English:
The expansion project of the airport terminal in Cluj-Napoca emerged from the necessity to address the spatial growth imposed by the continuous development of the city. This expanding urban context led to a reevaluation of the existing terminal. The extension of the departures terminal at Avram Iancu Cluj-Napoca International Airport was carried out to meet the growing needs of passengers and to improve the airport's infrastructure. The project was funded by European funds and the state budget, with the main goal of increasing processing capacity and reducing waiting times.
The terminal was expanded by 7,200 square meters, which includes two new boarding gates for international flights and one for domestic flights, adapted for both Schengen and non-Schengen traffic. The new terminal features advanced energy efficiency solutions such as photovoltaic panels, heat pumps, and domestic hot water systems, all contributing to reducing energy consumption.
The project was executed by a consortium comprising UTI Construction and Facility Management, Bog’Art, and ACI Cluj, and the implemented technologies include advanced facial recognition systems and video analysis to enhance security.
After analyzing the site, the decision was made to extend the terminal on the east and north sides. This choice was influenced by the existing structure, which was left exposed and integrated into the new design, serving as the starting point for the architectural concept.
The facade facing the runway features a canopy supported by arches clad with expanded metal sheets, maintaining structural transparency and continuing the idea of the new apparent structure. This approach does not obstruct passengers' view of the runway but creates a "curtain" through which one can see and through which light passes. Each opening of the arches defines the exit to a boarding gate.
The interior of the terminal was designed with an elegant style, combining yellow-colored metal columns. The interior design is highlighted by innovative architectural solutions, such as ceilings and curtain walls, allowing visibility of the arches and color accents represented by circulation nodes and signage.
The project was carried out using the BIM (Building Information Modeling) methodology, which allowed for the efficient coordination of all involved specialties: architecture, structures, HVAC installations, etc. At the end of the technical proj
