Abstract
Architecture is that field of human endeavour that concerns
itself with man’s essence of being, in a comfortable
environment.Architecture can only foster enjoyable experience and
consequent appreciation if its commitment is total. Man has
failed to recognise the fact that the architectural vocation of
any particular place should be governed by the culture of the
inhabitants and the nature of the place. by recognising human and
social needs, and by applications of suitable strategies and
exchanges of design, all the complex requirements of architecture
can be reconciled and integrated into structures which re both
humane and efficient.
The effectiveness of a transportation system is commonly
measured in terms of its ability to efficiently process the
transported unit and the performance of an airport system in
dependent upon the individual components which comprises it.
The aviation industry is highly technological due to its
dynamism but as with all spheres of life aviation demands for
growth, that growth promises dynamism.
Airplanes have never stopped to fascinate me, such large
objects flying gracefully up in the air and gliding down unto the
thermal to taxi to a halt. Most of the people that get to know
the organisational input that would have to be a ground before
such a flight would have to take place.
The airport is where these activities that make such flight
possible, occurs. The airport a multi faceted yet correlated
activity area may be viewed or a centripetally acting organised
system that has the actual take off, flight and the landing of
the aircraft at the centre of all these activities.
Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos requires sequential
utilisation several facilities and as such its overall efficiency
had been limited by the characteristic of the least efficiency
component which is the passenger and baggage handling facility.
Proposal for Private airlines terminal building is an
attempt at providing an ideal passengers terminal system that
responds to passenger comfort and convenience requirements; that
provides a favourable atmosphere for airline operators and
airport management: that satisfies the peculiar nature of Murtala
Mohammed Airport as regards domestic and occasional international
flight operations; and that will accommodate possible
organisational, economic or technological changes.
Proposal for Private airlines terminal building is the acts
of growing, increasing, becoming more complete and thus paving
way for economic possibilities. Essential facilities that are
required for the technical competency of Murtala Mohammed Airport
Lagos are available in serviceable condition. But lack of a
proper passenger terminal system hinders its commercial
viability. Thus, the end product of this research is a
contribution to the Proposal for private airlines terminal
building Murtala Mohammed Airport Lagos.
