MAJOR PLATE NO 1

TITLE: A PROPOSED INTERNATIONAL/DOMESTIC AIRPORT

DATE GIVEN: DUE DATE:

MODE: PROJECT DURATION : 3 – 4 WEEKS

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

An airport is a location where aircraft such as fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and blimps take off and land. Aircraft
may be stored or maintained at an airport. An airport consists of at least one surface such as runway for a plane to
take off and land, a helipad, or water for takeoffs and landings, and often includes buildings such as control
towers, hangars and terminal buildings.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

 Create an architectural design that would serve as an international gateway of the north cities of Luzon.
 Compliment the economic and tourism growth of the area particularly the Clark commercial zone.
 Resolve major architectural and urban design problems involving major and current transportation issues
using the principles of urban planning and community planning.
 Add another landmark for the community and create an architectural design that will serve as an ICON for
the entire community.
