The DAA's architects noted in their submission that "Due to the proposed internal reorganisation of the Terminal 1's upper floors, car access to the parking areas within the terminal from these ramps is no longer required." This highlights a shifting need in the terminal's use of space and structure.
In discussing the architectural changes, the DAA emphasized that "the new facade aims to reduce the environmental impact of Terminal 1 and lower maintenance costs across the entire site," which signals a move toward more sustainable building practices.
Architects stated, "Currently this large area within Terminal 1 is open to the atmosphere with all the unsustainable thermal issues this brings to the building," underlining an urgent need for renovations to enhance efficiency.
DAA secured planning permission in 2020 to revamp the terminal, which included plans for a new core facade, reflecting a broader vision for modernizing the terminal's infrastructure.
