In the previous years (about 2014) a Terminal for pilgrims was under construction at Imam Khomeini International Airport (IKIA). At another time, by the order of the officials, the terminal under construction on the IKIA site was changed from the Pilgrims terminal to the passenger’s terminal of international flights. The mentioned terminal was designed by a consultant and the main formation and body of the work was finalized by them too. The execution of terminal made progress about 15% on that time. By changing the use to the international passenger’s terminal, 45% physical progress was made and by changing the type of contract for planning and implementation of the terminal from three agents to BLT, the architectural review and preparing the interior design plans were notified to ATEC consulting engineers. The original architectural plan of the mentioned passenger’s terminal was revised by ATEC consultants with the aim of increasing passenger’s capacity to about 5 million passengers per year and the ATEC consultant plans and proposals was approved by the Client and the Operator of the time.
The architectural designs were prepared, executed and completed and also interior design plan of terminal was done at the same time.
Based on the approved architectural plan by the Client and Operator, three groups of ATEC head office colleagues designed the interior design plans and ideas which included planning of the main halls as well as the side spaces. Among the plans, the option approved by the Client and the Operator was notified to the consultant for implementation. The photos of interior design which have been executed as well as proposed plans for viewing are in appendix. The design was done according to the availability of the main structure and the construction of the main parts of the terminal and the integration of the interior design and the existing structure had been done by fully preserving the aesthetic codes. New interior design plans were prepared with considering the maintenance of the main function of the terminal and the existing volume. The plan enhanced the fluidity and transparency required in the architectural design to accelerate and smooth the movement of the passenger. Finally, the valuation of the architectural design in performance and aesthetics was completed and welcomed. All executive works of the terminal architectural and interior design were completed within 2 years and the terminal were inaugurated by the current President.
