The new Terminal 3 at Shenzhen International Airport was officially opened on November 28, after just five years of planning and construction. With an overall length of 1,500 m and a gross floor space of 500,000 sq m, it increases the capacity of the existing airport in future by up to 40 million passengers per year. The project is the result of an international competition held in 2008, from which the team of Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas supported by German engineers Knippers Helbig emerged victorious. Based on a given building organization and floor plan structure, a freely shaped terminal design was developed allowing plenty of natural light through a large number of openings in the interior.
