1. General information
2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
- To develop a green airport design which is aesthetically pleasing with biophilic connections and that caters to the hot climate through a large-scale, contemporary interpretation of vernacular passive design principles
- To focus on a green roof design, which serves as insulation and benefits environmental quality
- To create green spaces and use of passive (environmental) strategies for local temperature regulation
- To blend the project with its surrounding nature (existing paddy fields) and integrate nature into building spaces for users well being
- To use locally available sustainable materials with low maintenance costs
- To promote symbols of local culture typical of the community
- To develop the project as a corporate social responsibility project by raising funds and creating a great example of an environmentally friendly building (1,2,3,4,5).

Sustainability challenge(s) addressed
Climate change adaptation: What were the goals of the NBS?
Climate change adaptation: What activities are implemented to realize the conservation goals and targets?
Implementation activities
- Construction of a striking roof with an elevated green lawn that resonates with local architecture and invites the landscape of surrounding paddy fields into the airport. The eco-friendly airport terminal construction utilizes a 'Fast Flow Siphonic System', especially for conventional roof drainage (5)
- The pitched/hipped roofs are covered in grass rather than roof tiles, serving both as insulation and to blend the building into its setting. Each roof is additionally crowned with an array of timber-framed, asymmetrical pyramidal skylights that echo the traditional Banyuwangi headdress in form and incorporate perforated panels to draw warm air upwards and outwards – another Osing technique
As part of the project, other nature-based solutions were also integrated, specifically, two ponds, a green curtain area and an indoor courtyard:
-a koi carp (type of fish) pond and a plant-filled courtyard offer visual and climatic respite as passengers proceed through the airport (natural ventilation)
- another pond with a sunken mushollah (prayer room) is at the end of the pick-up/drop-off colonnade along the building’s southern edge (2,3).
- curtain creepers that act as a hanging element along the airport's periphery (from cast-in-place planter boxes tucked at first-floor slab) (3).

Type of innovation
Please specify technological innovation
Banyuwangi Airport at the eastern tip of Java Island turns out to be the first green airport in Indonesia, with the creation of an extensive green roof and the integration of ponds (8). The eco-friendly airport terminal construction utilizes a 'Fast Flow Siphonic System', especially for conventional roof drainage (5)
