You are correct about increasing the budget as
Heathrow's Terminal 5 gross floor Area is 465,000 m² and cost £4.3 billion. The project started in 1988 and the construction took place in September 2002 and finished in 2008.
However,
Madrid Barajas Airport's Terminal 4 gross floor is 1,158,000 m² and cost € 1,238,000,000 to build. The project started in 1997. It began the construction in 2000 and finished in 2005.
These Terminals views above and also the Taoyuan Terminal 3 are designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. As you can see, they took 5-6 years to construct.
I have visit the
Taoyuan Airport website recently and as I was scrolling down on the page, I have saw the image of the Terminal 3, which looks slightly different to the previous design proposal as it has got a flatter roof but kept the wave design. I am guessing that they have accidentally leaked the new design proposal that they have secretly kept to themselves from the public’s eye. Anyway, I am just wondering whether you feel skylight should be included for Taiwan's new terminal?
