AEREOPUERTO DE HUMACAO (HUC) (2026)
Every architectural project undergoes a process of evolution in which initial concepts are refined, reinterpreted, and developed through an integrated conceptual and technical approach. This section presents the final design proposal for the Regional Airport Terminal in Humacao, Puerto Rico, highlighting key design refinements that strengthen the project’s architectural identity and performance.
The revised scheme introduces a single-slope roof configuration, establishes a more prominent and clearly defined entrance, and expands the available roof area to maximize the potential for solar panel integration. These modifications reinforce the clarity of the architectural composition while addressing sustainability and functional efficiency.
The final proposal also explores the use of SCIP (Structural Concrete Insulated Panels) as an alternative construction system. By integrating structural concrete panels with thermal insulation, the approach seeks to streamline construction, improve building envelope performance, and support a more efficient construction process.
The resulting design balances architectural clarity, construction efficiency, and environmental responsiveness, establishing a cohesive architectural expression that responds to the project’s functional requirements and local context.
