Doutor Leite Lopes State Airport / Bacco Arquitetos Associados

Bacco Arquitetos Associados has designed the Doutor Leite Lopes State Airport in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, aiming to integrate the infrastructure into the community and reduce its carbon footprint. The project is scheduled for completion in 2026.

The design concept shifts from a "non-place" to an active urban element, fostering integration with the Ribeirão Preto community. A key feature is the use of Glued Laminated Timber (glulam) for the structure, which lowers the carbon footprint and reflects the local agro-industrial identity. This approach transforms the transit infrastructure into a welcoming space for social interaction.
