Cadillac-Larder断层带位于加拿大北方森林的中心地带，是贯穿魁北克Abitibi-Témiscamingue地区并伸入北安大略省的主要地质地貌。该断层带为当地带来了丰富的矿产资源，其沿线分布着几个主要的定居点，主要从事采矿和林业活动。鲁安-诺兰达就是这其中的一处定居点。根据该市乡村地区的历史介绍，该市成立于1926年，占据了“断层与森林之间”的地带。

Located in the heart of Canada’s boreal forest, the Cadillac-Larder Fault is a major geologic feature that cuts across Quebec’s Abitibi-Témiscamingue region and into Northern Ontario. It is the source of the region’s abundant mineral resources, and several major settlements were established along its length to engage in mining and forestry. One such settlement is the City of Rouyn-Noranda. Established in 1926, the city is said to occupy a space “between fault and forest”, to borrow a phrase from a historical guide of the city’s rural quarters.

鉴于鲁安-诺兰达独特的地理位置，新的航站楼不仅提高了该市作为Abitibi-Témiscamingue地区首府的知名度，巩固了其作为地区主要机场枢纽的地位，还凸显了采矿业和林业对于该城市的重要性。

Given Rouyn-Noranda’s unique geography, the new air terminal serves not only to increase the city’s visibility as the capital of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region, consolidating its position as the region’s principal airport hub, but it also highlights the importance of the mining and forestry industries to the city.

鲁安-诺兰达的地理位置和经济形态自然而然地决定了新航站楼的材料和色彩方案，因为该地区同时具备采伐和加工木材的条件。航站楼的所有公共空间都使用了木材，以强调木材的独特属性。

Rouyn-Noranda’s geography and local economy made wood a natural choice in the materials palette for the city’s new air terminal building, as it is both harvested and transformed within the region. Designers made a point of emphasizing wood’s unique properties by using it in all the terminal’s public spaces.
