Project Description
From Party:
On April 8,
2015, Narita International Airport Terminal 3 opened. This was a collaboration
between NIKKEN SEKKEI, Ryohin Keikaku, and PARTY. Narita
International Airport Terminal 3 is exclusively for LCC (low-cost carriers). Precisely so,
we focused on creating a completely "low-cost airport" with the
architecture and design. The budget for
constructing this terminal was approximately half of the usual amount. Due to costs,
we could not to install the typical moving walkways or illuminated signs. Instead, to
offer an exciting walking experience that is easy on the feet, we implemented
running tracks used for track and field, and added signage for user-friendly
guidance. The key to the
architecture and design is "more than 2 into 1." Consolidating
two or more functionalities into one in pursuit of economic reasonability. In short,
treasuring designs "with a twist without spending a lot of money."
It would be our great honor if Narita International
Airport Terminal 3 is frequently used and forever loved by economically savvy
travelers.
