Together with Bio-Architecture Formosana from Taipei, April Yang Design Studio from Ohio, and a multidisciplinary consultant team, the architects placed the main entrance of theterminal building at the south-west end of the site, which makes Terminal 3 visually dominant part of the Taoyuan airport facade.

The building has a small footprintand uses prefab elements that allow for quick assembly. Through a holistic approach, the team focused on “place making” and established a sequence of spaces that are easily navigable and offer intuitive way-finding.
“With the aim of the client to be amongst the top of the international airports in the region, it was necessary to develop a concept that conflates functionality, atmosphere and flexibility- an airport that is sustainable from the get go,” said UN Studio’s Ben van Berkel.
