Completion of upgradings in Singapore Changi Terminal 1

Time:Jul 13,2012 18:44Author :lucyahu Clicks: source :未知

Now, visitors coming to Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1 will be able to expect more shops and open spaces as the upgrading work that cost S$500 million is completed. An approximate of 22,000 square metres of floor space has been added and key areas like the departure check-in hall, departure transit mall and the arrival hall have also made more spacious, with higher ceilings and better lighting. The number of shops at T1 has increased from 85 to 110. Retail and food and beverage space has been expanded by 12% at both the public and transit areas.

 

 

According to the Changi Airport Group, the next round of upgrades will involve the car park in front of T1, which may be converted into an aviation-related mixed-use complex. The complex will host facilities for travellers connecting to cruises and tour buses. It is expected to increase T1's handling capacity by 14% to 24 million passengers per annum.

As part of the project, some of the public areas in T1 - such as the baggage claim hall, arrival hall and tavi bays - will also be expanded to provide more space for aviation facilities.

Passengers and airport visitors entering the Departure Check-in Hall at Singapore Changi Airport's Terminal 1 (T1) can expect to stop in their tracks and be captivated by a new art installation. Kinetic Rain, as it is titled, takes pride of place at the terminal, enthralling visitors with its fluidity, distinctive shapes, elegant and refined movements and precision-perfect technology.

Kinetic Rain, installed as part of T1's recent refurbishment, is the icon of the revamped Departure Check-in Hall. This specially commissioned sculpture, a first in an airport globally, comes as a pair, each installed several metres apart from each other and visible from many areas of the Departure Check-in Hall.

Kinetic Rain is made up of 1,216 bronze droplets that transform elegantly into multiple shapes, akin to poetry in motion. Carrying an aviation theme, the key element in every shape shows the movement of flight through slow, fluid movements. Some of the more recognisable shapes include an aeroplane, hot air balloon and a kite. One can also make out a dragon and a flock of birds amongst the 16 different programmed segments.



Each droplet is connected to motors installed in the ceiling of the Departure Check-in Hall. The motors contain a high precision rotary encoder which keeps track of the exact position of each droplet. A computer programme is used to control the movement of the droplets to form Kinetic Rain's unique shapes and patterns. A video on the making-of Kinetic Rain can be viewed here.

Kinetic Rain was created over a span of 20 months. Artists, programmers and technologists were engaged to analyse the space available at T1 and conceptualise a masterpiece that would be representative of the new terminal. The refurbished T1 is aptly themed 'Tropical City' in keeping with Singapore's garden city status and where rain, is very much a part of the tropical climate.
