Many constructionl systems were used in the construction of
airports. These systems vary according to the development of the
various aircraft models as well as to the increasing number of
passengers. This study will include a review of some airpor
ts
buildings, which had been built depending on the metal
construction technique that achieved larger architectural
dimensions and spaces for passenger terminal in terms of shape and
function.
This research includes a study of the evolution of the metal
technique used in airport construction especially for passenger
terminal showing its effect in realizing the architectural space
including its dimensions and spaces and in meeting the functional
requirements inside it particularly securing passengers safety,
comfort, and the ease of controlling their movement to the taking
off places, as well as securing ventilation and natural lighting of the
building.
