Kempegowda International Airport Wins Architect Magazine Award

Kempegowda International Airport

Terminal 2 at Kempegowda International Airport won the Honor Award in Architect magazine’s 2024 Architecture & Interiors Awards program in the Government and Civic Building category.

Said Juror Brooke Horan, Associate Vice President and Interior Design Director at HDR, New York, “There’s something sort of joyful and fantastical about it. I think it has an appeal to a lot of different people as you’re passing through—it feels warm and welcoming and comfortable, bringing respite to the potentially stressful situation of travel.”

Envisioned as a “terminal in a garden,” this addition to Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (BLR) radically reimagines the airport experience. The construction of the 255,000-square-meter terminal marks a transformative moment for one of India’s largest and fastest-growing cities, Bengaluru, by creating a meaningful civic gateway that emphasizes its rich culture and natural landscape. The design establishes a new vision for sustainable growth and conveys a sense of place that is unique to Bengaluru.
