Before construction began, Ankara, contractor based in Turkey Mapa built a scale model in Ankara.

creates a wooden village to encourage wandering in a vast terminal.

The goal of the design aesthetic is to create spaces that are a pleasure to use, encourage relaxation and reduce stress. This is achieved by naturally lit spaces generously proportioned with internal and external views extended. The terminal will also offer luxury shopping and leisure.
The design includes a tapered front that gives the building a unique appearance. The innovative shape allows light of the facade and the roof to enter the space. Skylights are an integral part of the roof steel structure.

Design
Arup is responsible for the design of a new facade for the existing international terminal. The work includes stripping the existing facade, adding insulation and replacing with a wire mesh front in harmony with the design of the new terminal.
The terminal design was greatly influenced by the vision and customer design ideas, M. Jahangir Askerov, President of Azerbaijan Airlines (SKIN). Bakou is a seismic zone, and the design uses a framework resistant system to allow seismic forces.

The terminal will have eight air bridges and is compatible with the Boeing 676.

The construction of this unique project began with the completion of the new entrance tollgate in October 2010. Most of the remaining construction should begin in early 2011 and end in 2013.
