Various\u00a0modes of transport were explored including pods for intra-airport transport.\u00a0Mag-lev cars, drones, hyperloops, hydrofoils, and air-rails were among the methods of inter-airport transport proposed.\u00a0Additionally, several different types of aircraft were studied including anti-gravity, vertical take off, rockets, and spaceships.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Entries were evaluated base upon five criteria including technology and sustainability.\u00a0Some submssions envisoned airports able to create their own biofuel from algae and symbiotic bacteria. Others created floating structures that sought to restore coral reefs and ocean ecosystems.\u00a0 Most designs derived shape and form from biomimicry and parametric equations.\u00a0Gardens, greenhouses, photovoltaic cells, and wind were also incorporated into many designs. Artificial intelligence helped enhance several of functions and addressed issues such as COVID-19 and terrorism.\u00a0Several new building techniques were explored including 3D printing and modular structures.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
