Western Sydney Airport competition 웨스턴 시드니 국제공항, 호주 유명 여성 비행사의 이름을 딴 ‘낸시-버드 월튼공항(Nancy-Bird Walton Airport)’으로 2026년에 운항 시작

호주의 전통과 자연환경에서 영감을 받은 지속가능한 공항건축 Design by Zaha Hadid Architects and Cox Architecture win the Western Sydney Airport competition

호주의 유명한 비행사 이름을 딴 웨스턴 시드니 국제공항은 ‘낸시-버드 월튼공항(Nancy-Bird Walton Airport)’이라 불리며 시드니의 새로운 서부 파크랜드 시티 지역에 있는 새로운 그린필드 공항으로 계획되었다. 설계는 영국의 자하하디드 아키텍츠와 시드니의 콕스 아키텍처가 맡아 진행하고 있으며, 2026년에 운항을 시작하게 된다.

 새롭게 지어지는 웨스턴 시드니 국제공항은 2026년까지 연간 1000만 명의 승객(MAP)을 수용할 수 있으며, 2060년까지 최대 8800만 명의 승객을 수용하는 확장식 모듈로 계획되어 호주로 가는 최대 국제적 관문이 될 것으로 예상된다.

 설계를 맡은 ZHA 프로젝트 책임건축가 크리스티아노 세카토(Cristiano Ceccato)는 “공항 디자인은 과거, 현재, 미래의 호주건축의 진화를 보여주며 호주 전통건축의 특징과 아름다운 자연환경에서 영감을 얻어 구현했다”고 밝힌다. 콕스 건축의 데이비드 홀름(David Holm) 프로젝트 책임건축가는 “웨스턴 시드니의 독특한 지역적 식물과 그레이트 오스트레일리아 빛과 같은 독특한 자연적 특성에서 영감을 얻었다”며 “이러한 공간, 색상 및 재료는 프로젝트에 틀림없는 지역적 정체성을 부여하기 위해 디자인에 통합되었다”고 설명한다. ZHA와 COX 디자인은 건물의 구조뿐만 아니라 지속가능한 디자인의 원칙을 속속들이 반영하고 있다. 공항 건물의 일조량과 자연 환기, 수자원의 재활용 등을 통합한 모듈형 에너지 시스템을 효율적으로 적용한다. 특히 자연 경관과 조화를 이루는 것은 물론 원주민들의 문화유산을 창의적인 디자인으로 구현하고자 했다. ANN

This morning it was announced that Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA; London, UK) and Cox Architecture (COX; Sydney, NSW) have won the international design competition for the new Western Sydney Airport (WSA) and been appointed as Master Architect for the project. The ZHA/COX team was selected from a broad field of forty national and international applicants that was narrowed to five selected design competitors.

The Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport, named after the famous Australian aviatrix, is a new greenfield airport in Sydney’s new western Parkland City region. Together with the original Harbour City on the coast and the River City around Paramatta, the Parkland City will become Sydney’s third urban hub, stimulating the city’s western expansion in the decades to come. The Western Sydney International Airport will be a fundamental catalyst for this growth, with the city’s greater metropolitan area set to reach 9 million by 2040.

The new Western Sydney International Airport will be built in four stages of expansion, beginning with the initial stage of 10 million annual passengers (MAP) by 2026, with further increments up to 82 MAP, making it the largest international gateway to Australia by 2060. As Master Architect, ZHA/COX will provide an overarching design for the entire airport precinct including design guidelines for future expansion. At the same time, the team will prepare the design documents for the execution of the first phase of the new Terminal Precinct.

ZHA Project Director Cristiano Ceccato said: “We are honoured to have been selected for this amazing project. The design is an evolution of Australian architecture past, present and future. It draws inspiration from both traditional architectural features such as the veranda, as well as the natural beauty of the surrounding bushland.”

COX Project Director David Holm noted: “The design takes inspiration from the unique local flora of Western Sydney and its unique natural qualities, such as the Great Australian Light. These spaces, colours and materials have been incorporated into the design to give the project an unmistakable regional identity.”

The ZHA/COX design incorporates sustainable design principles across the building’s architecture as well as its construction principles. The project integrates the extensive use of daylight, natural ventilation and water recycling to create a modular, energy-efficient design. The building is also sensitive to its local context, reflecting its natural landscape and the cultural heritage of its indigenous inhabitants.

In the field of transport infrastructure, Zaha Hadid Architects are best known as the original design architect (with ADPI) for the new Beijing Daxing International Airport and as the Lead Consultant for the new Navi Mumbai International Airport, as well as Afragola High-Speed Rail station in Naples, and the King Abdullah Financial District Metro Station in Riyadh. Cox Architecture are designing the new Victoria Cross Station in Sydney, the Sydney International Airport Marketplace, the Sydney Football Stadium and the Chinese National Maritime Museum. ANN
