Chennai Domestic Terminal Rendering
Some of you have written to me expressing some doubt as to the authenticity of the pictures in our article New Chennai International Airport (Pictures). While we had a correspondent first hand at the unveiling, some of our readers still expressed some doubt. Please keep in mind that renderings do change over time and are sometimes not complete until after construction starts.
The team led by Frederic Schwartz Architects / Hargreaves Associates / Gensler NY was unanimously selected by the Indian Government on June 15, 2007 as the winner of Chennai International Airport Competition.
“The design for the new Domestic Terminal at Chennai Intl Airport organizes traveler and employee circulation around two lush sustainable gardens forming the basis of a uniquely efficient and innovative plan. The dramatic hovering wing-like roofs fold downward to form the garden’s walls, delivering rain water during the wet season to series of runnels and cistern pools that store water for dry season irrigation. Directly connected to the new terminal, a new parking garage with a sculpturally folding green roof welcomes travelers with as a ‘green gate’ and provides a rich and sustainable foreground to the terminal with regional native plantings” – From the Source
Designs of terminal buildings and expansion of existing ones have already been approved," said Ramalingam of AAI. For Chennai, the consultants are Creative Group with Frederic Schwartz and Gensler of the US.
“In Chennai, a new terminal building will be constructed and that along with the existing terminal will take passenger capacity from10 million annually to 30 million by 2010. This development work would make the airport adequate passenger handling capacity till 2015-16. The new terminal building will measure more than 140,000 sq mts. In addition to that there will be 140 check-in counters, 60 immigration counters, 7 security gates (3 international, 4 domestic), 4 conveyor belts and 7 aerobridges.”

Wow, nice collection of airport updates here.,
How are you getting these pictures? I know the design was only recently finished.
If the model is unveiled, definitely that would have been announced and atleast one of the media like TV/Newspaper/Website would have covered it. But i did not come across anything like that. So, this seems to be a false information. What say??
This picture has been leaked out. The designs are done, they simply have not formally announced the design plans. When they do, you'll see it in the "old established media".
We have no clue about the runways and the proposed main entry from the Bangalore high ways.Hope AAI will speed up the final design for the project.
There is an article with another picture about this here:
