Sabiha Gokcen Airport Terminal Building Supervision

The architectural design of the building was executed by the Tekeli-Sisa Architecture Partnership, while ARUP International was responsible for the structural design. Prota Engineering provided engineering control and supervision services for the terminal building.

Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is one of the two international airports serving Istanbul, Turkey. The facility is located 35 km southeast of central Istanbul; it is on the Asian side of the bi-continental city.

The new terminal inaugurated in 2009 received “European Steel Design Award” given by the European Convention for Constructional Steelwork (ECCS). The project was also granted an award of Merit at Structural Engineers Association of California.

At over 380,000 m² on plan, the terminal is the largest seismically isolated structure built to date.
