架构师提供的文本描述。新的麦克默里堡国际机场为在北艾伯塔省的伍德水牛城的游客和居民创建了一个相关和有意义的门户。该地区的特点是其壮观的地理和自然美景，包括北国森林，大草原和北极光。它的季节温度从冬天的零下到夏天的摄氏30度不等。在经济上，它是蓬勃发展的油砂工业的所在地，这一产业已将小社区推向全球舞台，并促成了前所未有的增长，预计到2030年人口将翻一番。在社会上，该地区丰富的历史和蓬勃发展的工业促进了居民社区的巨大多样性。他们也为大量的流动人口创造了动力-临时居民被吸引到以资源为基础的工作岗位上，他们经常在工作周期之间飞回他们的家乡社区。

Text description provided by the architects. The new Fort McMurray International Airport creates a relevant and meaningful portal for visitors and residents of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo in Northern Alberta. The region is characterized by its spectacular geography and natural beauty including the Boreal Forest, the Prairies and the Northern Lights. Its seasonal temperatures range from -40C in the winter to +30C during the summer. Economically, it is host to a burgeoning oil sands industry that has thrust the small community onto the global stage and contributed to unprecedented growth, with the population expected to double by 2030. Socially, the area’s rich history and thriving industry have fostered tremendous diversity within the resident community. They have also created the impetus for a large transient population—temporary residents drawn to resource-based jobs who fly back to their home communities frequently between work cycles.

加拿大最繁忙的机场每年平均客运量增长率约为3%，而麦克默里堡国际机场在2012年和2013年增长了25%，并继续是加拿大增长最快的机场。随着更多预测的增长，麦克默里堡机场管理局(Fmaa)创建了一个新的绿色机场，包括一个新的航站楼、飞机停机坪、滑行道、接近道路和停车场。

While Canada’s busiest airports have seen an average annual passenger traffic growth rate of about 3 per cent a year, Fort McMurray International Airport grew 25 percent in 2012 and 2013, and continues to be Canada’s fastest growing airport. This, along with more forecasted growth, inspired the Fort McMurray Airport Authority (FMAA) to create a new green-field airport, complete with a new terminal building, aircraft apron, taxiways, approach road, and parking areas.

这个耗资2.58亿美元的项目应对了这方面的独特挑战，同时力求为一个身份不断演变的日益壮大的社区确定一个有尊严和有意义的地方。这座15，000平方米的三层楼包括所有典型的机场航站楼功能：登机、安检、国内和国际入境和出境地区、食品/饮料和零售商店、汽车租赁机构和航空公司行政办公室以及机场管理局。

The $258-million project responds to the unique challenges of this context while seeking to define a dignified and meaningful place for a growing community whose identity is continually evolving. The three-storey, 15,000m2 building includes all of the typical airport terminal functions: check-in, security screening, domestic and international arrivals and departures areas, food/beverage and retail outlets, car rental agencies and administrative offices for airlines and the airport authority.

麦克默里堡的偏远地区，有限的当地劳动力，以及严格的季节性限制，在设计过程的早期就影响了几个基本的技术决策。这些因素还伴随着制定有效的绿色建筑措施的总体愿望。这座建筑采用了重要的场外制造、耐用的材料和简单的技术，以确保质量，尽量减少施工进度和未来的维修。在美学上，总体目标是创造一个标志性的和难忘的存在景观和一个直接和诚实的表达与其精神的地方。

Fort McMurray’s remote location, its limited local labour force, and demanding seasonal constraints influenced several fundamental technical decisions early on in the design process. These factors were coupled with an overall desire to institute efficient green building measures. The building was constructed with significant offsite fabrication, durable materials and simple technologies in order to ensure quality and minimize both the construction schedule and future maintenance. Aesthetically, the overall goal was to create an iconic and memorable presence in the landscape and a directness and honest expression in harmony with the spirit of its locale.
