Page 38 - THESIS AEROMEDINA - MICHAEL STITT - FINAL

The AeroMedina airport is the primary land use element and has a cru-

cial role to play in making the Arabic Medina an economically viable
factor in regional development. Both the airport and the runway have
been designed on a 10 metre above ground plinth, and deigned to inter-
national standards. It’s function is primarily to serve the Arabian and
Asian regional markets, but does not exclude Europe, Africa, and the

Asia-Pacific region. Thus the airport aims to provide direct flights to
any destination in the world, and it’s facilities including the runway are
of sufficient length and width and capacity to cater for all sizes of air-

craft including Boeing 777’s , the new Dreamliner, and A380s.

On the fringe of the airport and the airport runway, are aircraft service
facilities included for fuel depot and aircraft hangers for maintenance,

and refuelling.

Unlike the residential petals distributed along the circular major triple

carriageway road, the Northern region of the AeroMedina is character- date-palm-festival-promises-fun-heritage-and-business

ised by specialist high-technical bio-agricultural land uses, and Industri-
al Polymers production, and business R & D. Other than the airport,
the Northern business-focussed petals are built directly on the ground
level. Each petal, like the resident petals, are powered by a circular re-
flector solar system. A brief description of the land uses of the petals

are:
