纳尔逊机场航站楼坐落于新西兰首都惠灵顿，是一座大跨度木结构建筑，机场跑道位于航站楼后方，远处是壮阔的塔斯曼湾(Tasman Bay)和新西兰纳尔逊西部山脉(Western Ranges)景观。原航站楼建于1975年，由于近年来纳尔逊乘客人数不断增加，且旧建筑已不再符合当地规划要求，因此，Studio Pacific Architecture事务所为纳尔逊机场设计了全新的航站楼，以便机场可以继续高效运行。

The Nelson Airport Terminal is a new large span timber building overlooking the runway, with a stunning backdrop of Tasman Bay and the Western Ranges in Nelson, New Zealand. The requirement for a new terminal building arose out of the reality that the existing 1975 building no longer met building code requirements or functioned efficiently with the ever-increasing passenger numbers’ travelling through Nelson.

作为一个高效运行的交通枢纽，同时也是安全可靠的商业服务设施，本项目体现了纳尔逊的独特性。通过大量运用当地材料，航站楼内部与周边环境的景观完美融合在一起。在环境保护与可持续发展方面，项目主要采用了两种设计策略，分别为自然通风，以及大跨度木结构与弹性抗震结构相结合的建筑结构选型。这两种设计策略的实施使纳尔逊机场从众多交通建筑中脱颖而出，成为可持续机场航站楼的优秀范本。

The brief was for an airport that operated efficiently, both as a transportation hub and a safe and viable business, but also, aspirationally, one that reflected uniqueness to Nelson, connection to landscape within the building, and extensive use of local materials. Two main strategies have been chosen to deliver on the expectation for an environmentally sustainable design; natural ventilation and the use of a mass timber structure coupled with a resilient seismic structural solution. Utilisation of these initiatives enables Nelson Airport to differentiate itself and to set a precedent for the sustainable operation of an airport terminal building.

建筑的屋顶结构复杂而醒目，与简洁规整的平面、立面形成鲜明的对比。 以建筑的长轴为基准，屋顶表面以一定的模数有规律地折叠，呼应了周边起伏的山脉轮廓。北立面上，巨大的V字形屋顶悬挑出来，形成室外檐篷。这种设置具有多重优势，一方面，屋顶的结构与外表皮之间形成空腔，起到了将下方太阳能拔风塔中热空气排出的作用；另一方面，出挑的屋檐为室内提供了遮阳，并减少了北立面的玻璃面积。

In contrast to the simplicity of the plan and facade, the roof is highly complex and visually striking; folding across the length of the building in a constant, rhythmical pattern which references the surrounding mountain ranges. Along the north façade, chevron-shaped external canopies have multiple benefits; they act as large chambers discharging warm air drawn in from the solar chimneys below, whilst also providing solar shading to the interior and reducing the extent of glazing to the north façade.
