Nouakchott International Airport
Drawing inspiration from the birds of the Banc’ d’Arguin region, the contoured forms of the new airport give wings to the building.
The architectural footprint of the terminal builds on forms and geometric patterns that define the Islamic Architectural style and set it apart from buildings belonging to any other faith.
“Seen from the side, the terminal building swoops down to receive its guests. Like a dove with a peace offering, the terminal building is a peace offering from the people of Mauritania as they welcome you into their precious country.
At the heart of the building springs a natural Palm Oasis, just like the many oases characterising the landscape of Mauritania.

Like the Khaimas (tents of the Nomads), the building is protected from the blazing overhead sun by a solid material that lifts in carefully selected areas to reveal precious life inside, and views out to the surrounding environment.
Contextually responsive, technically driven, technologically innovative, ecologically sensitive, an architectural landmark, the building firmly commands its, and Mauritania’s presence on the world stage.
