Project Completion: 2008

It looks awesome, have they started the renovation yet? But I only fly Eva anyway and Eva is in the second terminal =(

Renovations have been ongoing since 2004. The entire modernization, including terminal expansion and construction of a new control tower, is expected to be completed by 2010.

pretty nice.. but ... not special... :(

^
really?
it is VERY special by Taiwanese standard!
if the building is located elsewhere... then there is really nothing special about it

Here's my take. The total cost of modernizing TPE amounts to about US$1.2 billion. If the government were to build a completely new airport like Suvarnabhumi in Bangkok the cost would increase to around US$3 billion.

What do you think is the better option?

A.
Renovated Airport: US$1.2 billion
Taichung Opera House: US$200 million
Kaohsiung Concert Hall: US$200 million
New National Palace Museum: US$ 200 million
Tilting Trains for the East Coast: US$80 million
New TRA Commuter Trains: US$165 million
Landscape Series Projects: US$200 million
Gateway Series Projects: US$200 million
Kaohsiung Stadium: US$200 million

Total = US$2.6 billion

VS

B.
Ultra modern airport

Total = US$3 billion

A & B

razqal you're greedy man!

we are not the UAE!! just so you know...

A all the way man!!

LOL

Found an image of an old proposal for expansion at CKS airport. :hmmm:

cool

to be perfectly honest, the addition of the two slopes looks aweful, and i'm not even sure how much actual useable space it adds to the original structure. i am, however, excited about the interior makeover. after all, that's what gives people the first impression when they land in taiwan.

i'm looking forward to the construction of T3 and the implosion of T2 :tup:

"Aweful" seems like a pretty harsh assessment. From my perspective, it's a lot more elegant than the current structure. :yuck:

Incorporating the useless patio space beyond passport control into the terminal building is a very intelligent and cost effective method of increasing floor area. According to Dan's diagrams there is a net gain in useable space of 37% on the first level and 50% on level three.

This won't be completed in 2008 unless they start this afternoon and have fully-staffed construction shifts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also required would be relocation and compensation for all the airport and its private facilities that will be affected by the works. Has this happened yet?

i'm looking forward to the implosion of the entire airport and the construction of an entirely brand new one designed by antonio calatravas or some foreign architect with better design skills and vision that would put the airport on a par with other world class designed airports.

Taiwan's China Airlines picks Accor to run new airport hotel
03.22.07, 5:47 AM ET

TAIPEI (XFN-ASIA) - China Airlines Co Ltd (2610.TW) said it has chosen leading European hotel management group Accor SA to operate a new hotel near Taoyuan International Airport in northern Taiwan.

The hotel, Novotel Taoyuan International Airport Taipei, is scheduled to open in September 2009. It will be the first Accor-managed hotel in Taiwan.

'Accor has been chosen as our partner because the French group's four-star Novotel brand, with 450 properties globally, is a famous brand and a leading name in airport hotels,' China Airlines chairman Philip Wei said.

The 360-room Novotel Taoyuan International Airport Taipei is being built by China Airlines unit CAL Hotel Co Ltd.

The new hotel is part of a build-operate-transfer (BOT) project the Taiwan government handed to China Airlines in September 2006.

Under a 50-year contract, China Airlines is also building a new head office and a crew training and dispatch center, alongside the four-star Novotel airport hotel.

wow, a pulse in this thread and taiwan forum. who's designing the hotel? hope it's not c.y. lee but someone with vision and taste like antonio calatravas. :D

so......are they going to friggin renovate this terminal 1 already yet??? other foreign cities are building entire new airports in the amount of time it takes taiwan to renovate 1 measly terminal. sad....

桃園機場一航廈露老態 14億更新脫胎換骨


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

【大紀元3月26日報導】（中央社記者汪淑芬台北二十六日電）桃園國際機場第一航廈啟用近三十年，建物外觀、內部設施都已顯露老態，交通部民航局決定為一航廈做拉皮整容手術，用新台幣十四億元為代表國家門戶的一航廈脫胎換骨。
民航局說，一航廈整建是屬於政府國家門戶意象改造的一項，目前已由日本設計師團紀彥完成初步設計，以局部改造方式，讓一航廈主結構不受影響，同時達到脫胎換骨效果，主要以帷幕改變造型，並利用帷幕從原有屋頂兩側弧形下垂，增加一航廈使用空間。

因帷幕具透光性，可增加一航廈的明亮度，夜間經由燈光反射，可讓一航廈外觀更富變化。

民航局稱一航廈的更新計畫是拉皮整容手術，經費估計為十四億元，施工期三年半，民航局預定行政院核定計畫後，十五個月內完成發包，將採局部施工並盡量利用夜間時間，降低對一航廈運作的影響。

FINALLY.... :slob:
