Changi Airport Terminal 3 commenced operations on 9 January 2008. It's located directly opposite Terminal 2. And it's the largest of Changi Airport's 3 terminals and can handle 22 million passengers a year.
Terminal 3's landmark design is in a class of its own. One of its most outstanding architectural features is the "butterfly" roof design. This unique roof comprises 919 skylights that automatically adjust to the sunlight, allowing just the right amount of soft natural light into the building's interior. These shades are designed to block out the glare and searing heat of the tropical sun.
In addition, nearly all the walls are made of glass - giving a clearer view of planes taking off and landing, wherever you are. Trees, plants & foliage are an integral part of the terminal's interior design.
Another major highlight is the 5-sty high vertical garden, named 'The Green Wall', this vertical garden spans 300m across the main building, creating an expansive natural retreat covered aith tropical foliage and interspersed with four cascading waterfalls. These stunning features can be seen from anywhere within the arrival and departure halls, giving visitors a visual treat whilst waiting.
