As a passive design strategy, the overall massive structure of the airport with graceful arches and roof structure that was supported by the columns can the reduce the island heat effect and improving air quality by allowing the cool air ventilate the space below the roof structure. Hence, the comfortability of the travelers can be increased due to the natural air ventilation and protection from the sun. Moreover, a massive spiral ramp that connects the ground floor and first floor was built to provide accessibility to the disabled and at the same give off a grand and huge impression to the travelers.

Exterior Drop Off Point Hypar Roof Structure -“Airport in A Forest, Forest in A Airport” concept is implemented in the airport. -The impressive architecture of the airport was built in Sepang, surrounded by a forest and palm tree plantation. Hence, the forms of the airport are derived from the local palm tree. -The form of the exterior gives off a local identity of Islamic domes to overseas travelers as well as local with its traditional styles. -Stainless steels structure and modern materials created with the rendering of mosque-inspired architecture created a contrast between the lush green forest and airport hence creating a dramatic effect on the users. -Uses of stilts with organic design of roof structure can reduce the heat of the drop-off area and also provide a better ventilation. 40.3% agreed that the spaces are well ventilated. -The stilts opened up the spaces and allow breeze to ventilate the drop-off and pick up area hence provide a comfortable tempe
