Cartagena de las Indias is a port city known for its lush landscapes, beaches, and well-preserved colonial architecture. Our airport is both environmentally and regionally sensitive to the city’s distinct character. The structure welcomes the surrounding landscape through a series of interior gardens featuring local vegetation. In turn, these gardens connect to a system of bio-swales which reduce the overall site temperature and mitigate flooding risk. Designed with principles of metabolic architecture and resiliency, the courtyards bring nature to all the main functions of the airport and act as anchors of commercial activity.

Our approach is strategically driven and informed. Click here to learn about our process.

The form of the new airport pays homage to the city’s historic fortresses: the arches that line the airport echo the walled city’s classical arches and act as iconic gateways that frame the experience of arrival and departure, while the modular and parametric design ensures efficient, adaptable operations and reduced environmental impact through energy-conscious strategies.
