This particular gate welcomes the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus 380-800.  This model served as a discussion piece for access, flows and the spacial relationships of the architectural elements, allowing the client’s in Doha to experience the architecture and the multitude of design decisions made in satisfying the technical requirements, as well as any aesthetic concerns about the plans for gate C-15.  Our challenge was to be able to cut through the building and suspend elements seemingly in mid-air and design and construct it in such a way that it would safely ship to Doha.  Huge fun was had by the technical model maker who got to design and CNC machine the nose of the Airbus 380-800.
