Terminal 3 (T3) of Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, Guangdong, China, has been in operation since 2013 and plays a key role in boosting the economic development of Shenzhen—one of the fastest-growing cities in the world. The terminal—the largest single public building to be built in Shenzhen at the time of its completion—encompasses 63 contact gates, with a further 15 remote gates and significant retail space. It aims to increase the capacity of the airport by 58 percent, handling up to 45 million passengers per year. It is the first airport that is designed by acclaimed architects Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas of Studio Fuksas. After winning an international competition, the project has undergone a rapid process of design and construction, completing within three years.
