According to the report, the T2 international terminal at Phu Bai International Airport in Hue has clinched the gold award in special architecture at the 2024-2025 National Architecture Award, highlighting blend of heritage and modern design. The ceremony took place at Hanoi Opera House last week, where the T2 terminal was celebrated not only for its architectural uniqueness but also for its contributions to architectural development nationwide.

This spanning an impressive airport stands 22,380 square meters, the terminal has the capacity to welcome up to 5 million passengers annually, accommodating as many as 2,500 travelers simultaneously during peak hours. The construction of the terminal, spearheaded by the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), began in December 2019 and officially opened its doors in June 2023.

This unique airport is designed by a collaborative team including Kyo Ariyoshi, Nguyen Dang Quang, Hiroyuki Enomoto, Pham Tien Thang and other partners, the terminal combines elements reminiscent of Hue's ancient royal palaces with contemporary architectural innovations. One of the terminal's most striking features is its expansive roof, which not only highlights its modern aesthetics but also provides essential shelter from Hue's frequent rainfall. Natural lighting is integrated through a sophisticated wooden heat dissipation system, creating a welcoming, comfortable environment for travelers.

The National Architecture Award, organized biennially by the Vietnam Association of Architects in collaboration with the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, aims to foster innovation and honor outstanding architectural contributions across Vietnam.

The design is indeed breathtaking, so they definitely deserve to win this. Am sure they must have spent a lot to achieve this.
It seems the architects uses Art Noveau architecture design to protect the building from earthquake, and ferocious storm. Any building using Art Noveau can't be destroyed by earthquake. It just swayed.
