The Chinese western concepts offering includes Element Fresh, 2 Tasty Congee restaurants, The Dining Room, Tarhar Silk Road, Bon, Menya Musashi and Unagi Joy House.
Beijing Daxing: more than just an airport, rather a truly integrated transportation hub
Located south of the capital, in the Daxing district, Beijing New Airport is the third airport in Beijing and a new transport hub for the greater Beijing region.
Launched on September 30, 2019 ahead of the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic, Daxing is the first airport designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, known for her radical deconstructivist designs, the first woman in 2004 to be awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, made a Dame by Elizabeth II for services to architecture, the first and only woman to be awarded the Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2015. Her company worked with French planners ADPI and the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, while Hong Kong studio Lead 8 has designed the integrated service building.
- The new mega-airport hub is expected to handle up to 45 € million passengers per year by 2021 with plans for 72 € million by 2025 and 100 million by 2040.
- A vast terminal building covering a 700.000m² area.
Visually spectacular, "evolved from principles within tradition Chinese architecture that organise interconnected spaces around a central courtyard".
The central atrium, with curves like a rolling landscape, is supported by eight giant C- shaped columns wide skylight at the top – filling the terminal with natural light – while accompanying the departure lounges are five traditional Chinese courtyards. The starfish design is extremely space efficient, with a journey of just 600 metres from security to the furthest gate – plus checking in is mostly automated. Thanks to this shape of five concourses connected to a main hall, Daxing aims to reduce walking for passengers.
