架构师提供的文本描述。麦克法兰绿比加尔建筑设计(MGB)是委托设计三个阶段的王子乔治机场扩建和翻新。该项目为乔治王子社区作为进入不列颠哥伦比亚省北部的门户提供了强大的公民身份。该项目突出了MGB对以高度可持续的方式振兴现有空间和结构的兴趣。第一阶段涉及2001年9月11日以后改变航空旅行所需的新的安全措施。加拿大航空运输安全局提出了新的要求，制定了一项国家方案，以更新加拿大机场的新设备，有时还包括新的空间。第二阶段处理了进出该区域的国际旅行的新需求。第二阶段包括国际抵达、国内行李领取和加拿大边境服务局办公室。

Text description provided by the architects. mcfarlane | green | biggar Architecture + Design (mgb) was commissioned to design three phases of the Prince George Airport expansion and renovation. The project has contributed to a strong civic identity for the Prince George community as the gateway into northern British Columbia. The project highlights mgb's interest in revitalizing existing spaces and structures in a highly sustainable manner. The first phase addressed new security measures required by the changes to airline travel after September 11th, 2001. New requirements by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority resulted in a national program to upgrade Canadian airports with new equipment and, at times, new space. The second phase addressed new demand for international travel to and from the region. The second phase incorporates international arrivals, domestic baggage claim and offices for the Canadian Border Services Administration.

该计划包括扩建现有的候机厅，包括新的候机室、国际抵港区、安检区、行李化妆室、辅助办公室，以及对现有办理登机手续的大厅和抵达区进行翻修。这一设计使1970年代加拿大运输公司设计的航站楼现代化，并为室内和外部建筑开辟了一条新的道路。

The project involves the expansion of the existing terminal to include a new departure lounge, international arrivals area, security screening area, baggage make-up room, support offices and renovations to the existing check-in hall and arrivals areas. The design modernizes the 1970’s Transport Canada designed terminal and establishes a fresh approach to the interior and exterior architecture.

这个结构是暴露在厚重的木材，混凝土和钢。设计的重点是结构和围护结构的工艺细节。外部覆层包括一个创新的结构玻璃幕墙，支持定制设计的铸件.独特的点固定玻璃系统只渗透在绝缘单元中的夹层玻璃的内部窗格，防止热桥联。这种玻璃溶液是北美第一种玻璃化液。延性钢铸件是用来支撑屋顶，并用于离开休息室长椅，说明设计的一体化建筑解决方案，从结构到家具。

The structure is exposed heavy timber, concrete and steel. The design focused on the craft of the structural and envelope detailing. Exterior cladding includes an innovative structurally-glazed curtain wall supported on custom-designed castings. The unique point-fixed glazing system penetrates only the inner pane of laminated glass in the insulated unit preventing thermal bridging. The glazing solution is the first of its type in North America. The ductile steel castings were used to support the roof and used for departure lounge benches illustrating the design’s integration of architectural solutions from structure to furniture.

设计原理

Design Rationale

材料的选择是为了它们的目的，而不是为了它们的装饰价值。耐久性，可持续性，优雅的细节和成本都被权衡在决定为建筑物开发一个简单的自然调色板。木材成为满足该项目与区域经济和美学相关的雄心的一种主要材料。杉木天花板和外露将内部的平面延伸到航站楼的外部。室内木元素包括“桦木箱”座椅和枫木长椅，旨在创造多样化和亲密的离开休息室。

Materials were selected for their purpose and not for their decorative value. Durability, sustainability, elegant detailing and cost were all weighed in the decisions to develop a simple natural palette for the building. Wood became the dominant material as a means to satisfy the project's ambitions to relate to the regional economy and aesthetic. Fir ceilings and exterior soffits continue the plane of the interior to the exterior of the terminal. Interior wood elements include 'birch box' seating and maple benches that were designed to create variety and intimacy within the departures lounge.

到达的旅客受到天空照明的中央中庭的欢迎，这是连接离开和到达旅客的主要循环。密集的结构是分层的冷杉防晒霜和钢和工程木材结构。随着光线和阴影的动态播放，空间一整天都在发生变化。

Arriving passengers are greeted with a sky-lit central atrium that serves as the primary circulation linking departing and arriving passengers. The dense structure is layered with a fir sunscreen and a steel and engineered-wood structure. The space transforms throughout the day with a dynamic play of light and shadow.

后面的行李‘化妆’区域是封闭的半透明聚碳酸酯木板在挤压铝框架。聚碳酸酯屏蔽工作区域，同时从外部提供一个发光箱，乘客从他们的飞机下降到围裙。木炭纤维水泥板和板材雪松完成外部调色板，并继续进入内部。

The back-of-house baggage 'make-up' area is enclosed with translucent polycarbonate planks in extruded aluminum frames. The polycarbonate screens the work area while providing a luminous box from the exterior as passengers descend to the apron from their aircraft. Charcoal fiber-cement panels and panelized cedar complete the exterior palette and continue into the interior.

乔治王子社区因为其现代和物质表达的美学而拥抱了这座建筑。市民认为机场重建和航站楼的设计是未来增长的催化剂，也是商业、工业和旅游业的重要标志。该项目的独特之处在于，它有能力在不列颠哥伦比亚省的一个地区定义一个强大的现代建筑特征，而这往往受到一些预算项目的挑战。

The Prince George community has embraced the building for its modern and materially expressive aesthetic. The community sees the airport redevelopment and the terminal's design as a catalyst for future growth and a strong symbol as a gateway for commerce, industry and tourism. The project is particularly unique in its ability to define a strong modern architectural character in a part of BC that is often challenged by modest budget projects.
