How Mactan Airport beat Singapore's Jewel Changi in world architecture tilt

Mactan Airport Terminal 2, with its timber arches, won in the World Architecture Award’s “Completed Buildings-Transport” category, beating Jewel Changi with the world's tallest indoor waterfall.The gateway to white sand beaches, waterfalls, adventure trails and shopping in Cebu, Mactan Terminal 2 features wooden arches that look like an inverted boat hull, and a wave-shaped roof that evokes a tropical resort feel.

Shu said the Jewel, which reportedly had a price tag of $1.25 billion, was "a very grand building" and that the effort needed to build it was "phenomenal." “The comment of the jury at our presentation is that they feel our building from Cebu is very confident yet very modest,” Shu said in a Skype interview with ABS-CBN.

Shu said that from the start, the designers of the Mactan Cebu gateway wanted something different from other commercial airports.Shu said the biggest airport in the Visayas was also designed to be resilient to earthquakes and typhoons. IDA designed improvement works on the Hong Kong International Airport, which also considered the weather.
