Forest Threshold: Greenville Spartanburg Airport Expansion
Forest Threshold: Greenville Spartanburg Airport ExpansionAlexander DeFee + Barak Yaryan
The GSP airport expansion capitalizes on the qualities of the surrounding landscape, transcribing the spatial and phenomenological character of the adjacent forest into the building. The project explores the blurring of site and building to create an extended threshold experience. The shifted beam grid of the roof allows for a forest like haphazard placement of structural columns within a logical and buildable framework. This forested quality is further enhanced by an articulated roof treatment that is read as an extension of the forested landscape by air, and as an extension of forest canopy from within the building.

Summer leaves absorb and block solar energy
Roof overhangs shade southern facades
Thermal mass absorbs solar energy in winter
Decidious trees allow solar energy to pass through in winter
Vertical fins diffuse morning and evening sun Shallow overhangs on northern facades
increases daylighting depth
Vegitative roof reduces stomwater runnoff and increases r-value
