Thats awesome news, I didnt have a clue they were going to expand. And I like the renders, same style as terminal II! WOOHOO!

It's beautiful and unique.

Thank you Optimus for creating this thread ! :)

Can't you convert Dirhams into Dollars please ? Cuz it's really, really really more international... :D

Stunning terminal.

I love how Morrocco incorporates its Maghrebian Architecture into modern buildings. Things like this, and the Marrakesh Rail Terminal. I think this is because Maghrebian Architecture in general looks good, and can easily "fit in" when being incorporated into modern buildings.

I know this is only a terminal, but terminals and entire airports proposed or going through upgrades in Africa seem to be really......small. I like the exterior design, and just feel like it's small, like mid-sized city airport small. Once again I know it's just a terminal, just saying.

Any figures ? Capacity, size ... :D

Marrakech Menara Airport Terminal II, Morocco

Marrakech Menara Airport, Morocco

This dramatic new airport terminal is an example of how Modernism and traditional Islamic architecture have begun to cross-pollinate. Designed by a team of architects led by Casablanca-based E2A Architecture and completed in 2008, the structure is formed of massive concrete rhombuses. This muscular approach is softened by the exquisite arabesque patterns on the building's glass skin, which cast complex, ever-changing shadows on the terminal's floors.

Beauty Mark: There are 72 photovoltaic pyramids generating power on the roof.
