World's first bioclimatic airport terminal of this scale in a tropical climate. The technological innovation enables a radical breakthrough: the space functioning with ZERO air conditioning. 1) The Central Depression Canyon - utilizing specialized roof geometry to create pressure differentials, acting as a natural extraction pump; 2) Aerodynamic Roof of Undulations - harnessing prevailing trade winds to drive natural ventilation; 3) Passive Airflow Modeling - achieving thermal comfort without mechanical cooling. Recognized by Prix Versailles as one of the World's 10 Most Beautiful Airports
