Abstract Details

2009, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
This research will show that with a design of a new landside airport terminal facility, stress can influence, develop and shape areas contained within the facility; implemented without diminishing the high level of security needed in a post 9/11 era. Airport security is essential for the safety and protection of the traveling public, a critical component, often designed with little attention because security is not considered a significant characteristic of the design experience. As architects, our number one responsibility is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public; we fail our duty when we do not design for security as much as we design the facade of the terminal. Following 9/11, the United States is aware another terrorist attack could occur, but difficult to anticipate. However at airports, potential attacks must be planned for because anyone can develop a plan to damage public areas. The duty of the architect is to design a program, protecting the occupants of the building and limit the loss of life. Recent security measures have put an increased amount of stress on the traveling public, generating a need to lower the stress and anxiety of the passenger. Reduction of stress is critical to the success of any new security measure; passengers should be able to experience security measures with transparency, because awareness of security will trigger anxiety and stress.
