作為發展迅速城市的新門戶，南寧機場采用獨特的屋頂雨篷結構設計，滿足了各類功能及標志性等多方面的建筑需求。可調節光照的斜交網格的天花以及整個航站樓蜿蜒的造型由白色的三叉形鋼柱所支撐。

雨篷設計融合了機翼的機械結構形狀和鳥翼的生物結構形狀。在設計比較過程中，確定了各柱體結構大小，以使柱體在不同的接觸點與斜面天花緊密結合。與之相對的是菱形的網格圖案，大多數天花單元為非透明，匯聚于中心條帶頂端，形成了一個淺卵形的圓頂，下方為到達/出發大廳，而半透明的菱形則構成了天窗開口。柱子和天花板的連接猶如鳥翼的骨頭和羽毛連接。

業主要求既可促進機場航站樓系統發展又能確保建筑造型可行性的總體規劃方案，KPF反復測試各種材料，最終解決了這一重大設計挑戰。入口處玻璃張力幕墻所需跨度要求采用定制的立縫面板，以適應外立面的向下坡度。通過材料定制決策，設計團隊確保為乘客帶來積極的旅行體驗，同時保證了合理的項目預算。

As the newest gateway to a rapidly expanding city, the Nanning Airport features a roof canopy that represents a unique balance of structural design with a multiplicity of programmatic and iconographic demands. Its triangulated steel columns, rendered in white, support a ceiling of diagrid tiles that calibrate light exposure and support the sinuous form of the terminal as a whole.

The canopy design fuses two shapes inherent to flight: the mechanical structure of airplane wings and the biological structure of bird wings. The first lens of inspiration informed a comparative design process to determine the columns’ shifting dimensions and meet the ceiling’s slope at various points of contact.By contrast, the diamond tile pattern, rendered mostly in opaque units, culminate at a central strip that crowns the length of the shallow, ovoid dome. Marking the arrival and departure hall, these translucent,fabric tiles form apertures to the skylight above. Through the latter lens, the articulation of the columns and ceiling tiles evoke the bones and feathers of the bird’s wing.

Posing a significant design challenge, the client’s commitment to a flexible master plan that would promote growth of the airport terminal system also drove the iterative process of testing multiple materials to ensure the building shape’s viability. The desired span of the entrance’s glass tension walls required the application of custom, standing seam panels that fit the facade’s downward slope. With each bespoke decision, the design team ensured a positive traveling experience for the visitor while remaining sensitive to the project’s budget.
