Guwahati Airport Wins Global Architecture Award

14 Aug 2025 CW Team

The award, presented annually by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design in partnership with The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies and Metropolitan Arts Press, celebrates outstanding achievements in architecture and urban planning.

Serving as the main aviation hub of Northeast India, Guwahati International Airport connects the region to key domestic and international destinations. T2 forms part of a major redevelopment project aimed at modernising facilities, improving passenger comfort, and meeting rising travel demand.

Drawing from the resilience of bamboo and the grace of the foxtail orchid, T2 features tea-trunk-inspired columns and a layered, curved roof for an organic yet futuristic look. Designed by NUDES, led by architect Nuru Karim, the terminal integrates sustainability into its core — from open-air spaces and lush greenery to features that create an experience akin to a biodiversity park.

Sustainable Features of T2

Open-plan layouts and skylights to maximise natural light and reduce energy use
Indoor gardens and vertical green walls to improve air quality
An “arrival forest” with ambient skylighting for a tranquil entry experience
Capacity to handle 10 million passengers annually with optimised baggage and passenger flow systems

The interior combines traditional influences with modern efficiency, incorporating wooden-style walkways, spacious open areas, and abundant natural lighting to foster a calm, welcoming atmosphere while keeping environmental impact low.

With this international recognition, Guwahati International Airport not only enhances its status as a modern aviation hub but also sets a benchmark for sustainable airport design in India.
