for providing the following description:

格鲁吉亚是最近几年快速发展的高加索区域年轻国家，也有越来越多的游客被这里的古老历史吸引，因此迫切的需要一个新机场。新建成的机场将会成为一个交通枢纽，在明年达到100万游客吞吐量。

Ben van Berkel认为这个机场应该透明，友好，安全，为当地和国际游客创造出一个国际化的门面形象。同时新机场的设计包含了当地的历史元素，在格鲁吉亚，公共建筑和私人建筑都有一个展示性入口大堂，因此这个设计里面包含了一个体现格鲁利亚民主，年轻，活力的的大堂。格鲁吉亚位于高加索，黑海文化交汇之处，文化丰富。

Ben van Berkel表示他不仅仅非常兴奋能够设计这个重要的机场，同时还创造了一个象征格鲁吉亚与世界相联系的国际门户。

UNStudio’s recently completed Kutaisi International Airport serves domestic and international flights for use by tourists, national politicians and international diplomats. The airport is destined to become a central hub, with up to one million travellers targeted in 2014-2015. Current figures for the airport show 30 flights per week, with an increase to 40 expected in Spring 2014, by which time direct flights from Western Europe to Kutaisi will also be possible.

新的库塔伊西机场将为国际外交官，政治家和游客们提供各种国内国际航班。UNStudio对于新机场的设计将格鲁吉亚的历史景观和建筑本身完美的结合在了一起。航站楼的架构就是一个展馆。它是一条结构清晰的通道，包罗万象并有保护作用。航站楼中央的外部区域是为离港旅客设计的。中心点周围透明空间的设计是为了确保客流顺畅，离港旅客和到港旅客不会冲突。

高达55米， 面积有300平方米的空中交通管制塔台是为了航站楼的补充设计。顶层的交通控制舱是塔的焦点，内部宽敞和舒适的环境能够确保员工集中注意力工作。邻近的大楼里还有1500平方米的配套办公室。4000平方米的航站大楼包括中央入境大厅，登机处和休息室，咖啡厅和汽车租赁设施，3个配有零售，咖啡馆，CIP休息区和室外花园的登机口，一个配有海关和边防警察办公室的入境区，以及配有员工房间及和新闻发布会设施的行政区域。

UNStudio’s design comprises the full airport development, including a revision of the runway, the master plan for the landscape and planned future development thereof, the terminal building, offices, a meteorological station and the air traffic control tower.

The architecture of the terminal refers to a gateway, in which a clear structural layout creates an all-encompassing and protective volume. Both the exterior corner detail – which functions as a crossing-point and point of recognition – and the so called ‘umbrella’ structure within the terminal building – which operates as a roundabout for passenger flows – operate as the two main architectural details around which all of the airport functions are organised.

The umbrella further guarantees views from the terminal plaza to the apron and to the Caucasus on the horizon and vice versa. The central point in the umbrella is an exterior patio which is used for departing passengers.  The transparent space around this central area is designed to ensure that flows of passengers are smooth and that departure and arrival flows do not coincide.

Ben van Berkel: “The design for the new airport embraces the traveller by embodying the circumstance of the site. Moments of both leaving and returning are celebrated by the large span, open spaces and high ceiling of the terminal structure – reflecting the ways in which such gestures were employed in the great railway stations of the past.”

The design organises the logistical processes, provides optimal security and ensures that the traveller has sufficient space to circulate comfort-ably. Serving as a lobby to Georgia, the terminal will in addition operate as a café and art gallery, displaying works by young Georgian artists and thereby presenting a further identifier of contemporary Georgian culture.

The 55m high Air Traffic Control Tower and its supporting office/operational building is designed to complement the design of the terminal. The tower’s strong appearance makes it a beacon of the airport and surrounding area. The traffic control cabin on the top level forms the focal point of the tower, with a 360 degrees view on the surrounding landscape. A spacious and comfortable interior ensures a workspace for 4-8 operators with optimal concentration. The exterior of the tower is clad with a perforated skin on a concrete core to use wind for ventilation purposes. LED

Light in-between the skin and the core enhance the beacon effect of the tower at dusk and dawn by changing colour whenever there is a fluctu-ation in wind speed.

新机场力求纳入国际与本地元素，采用多项可持续性调节措施。利用地热调节水温，建筑南部和西南部用悬挑进行遮阳。低压通风设备被整合入主体结构之中，屋顶覆盖太阳能光伏电池板。

The design for the new airport incorporates numerous sustainable elements. A large onsite underground source of natural water provides the basis for the reduction of energy consumption through concrete core activation and use for sprinkler basins. The floors of both the terminal and the traffic control tower will utilise this water for maintaining a regulated temperature in the two volumes. In the terminal building cantilevered roofs provide sun shading on south and southwest zones. A hybrid low pressure ventilation system is integrated into the terminal’s main structure and there is a grey water collection system in the floor underneath the terminal building. A future aim is to present Kutaisi airport as Georgia’s first airport to incorporate a strict segregation of waste and establish a recycling system which could be further implemented into new and existing projects in Georgia.

The project was designed and constructed in two years, under lead consultancy of UNStudio, with the airport already having begun operations by September 2012. Both design and construction saw the involvement of numerous local and international companies, with openness and knowledge sharing proving to be essential to fulfilling the tight schedule. The steel structure of the terminal – produced and shipped from Hungary – recently won a European Steel Prize award.
