Michael A. Speaks, dean at Syracuse University School of Architecture, is among a distinguished group of 11 jurors who will select the winner of a competition to design a new terminal at Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport. The competition is hosted by Taoyuan International Airport Corporation Ltd. Outstanding design proposals and professional services teams from all over the world were solicited to develop the project.

In response to the rapid growth in passenger volume of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and economic activities in East Asia, the Taiwanese government is seeking to have its airport become a large-scale hub through the construction of the new T3 terminal, targeted for completion in 2020.

The jury panel is international in scope. Jurors represent significant leadership in their fields and offer a wide range of viewpoints and professional experience from areas that include architecture, airport management, master planning, visual arts, engineering, technology and construction. Jurors will re-convene in Taipei from Oct. 28-30 to make a final determination among three teams of finalists: Foster+ Partners Limited, United Kingdom; RSHP (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners), United Kingdom; and Van Berkel and Bos UN Studio Limited, the Netherlands. The winner will be announced Friday, Oct. 30.

Taoyuan International Airport, formerly known as Chiang Kai-shek International, is located 25 miles west of the Taiwanese capital, Taipei. In 2014, it was the 11th busiest passenger airport in the world.

The T3 project aims to serve 4.5 million travelers annually and help cater to the 8.6 million passengers expected to utilize the airport by 2042. It is the largest and, at $2 billion, the most heavily funded construction venture in Taiwan. Multi-function buildings will link Terminal 3 and the existing Terminal 2 to form a mega-terminal. The over-arching design concepts for the project are “Smart, Green and Culture.” With high-efficiency operating systems to provide high-quality passenger services and transportation function, the project will be developed as a sustainable and intelligent airport, with comprehensive facilities encompassing functions in tourism, shopping, culture and arts to create new traveling experiences.
