Research background
Research problem
How can the new cruise terminal respond to the civic requirements of the city. How does the design deal with the issue of sustainability of the cruise terminal.
Research questionlWorking hypothesis
By highlighting these key issues and understanding their requirements, cruise ship terminal design can respond more appropriately. What is the accommodation that will be included in the proposed new cruise ship terminal at the Point for Durban.
Aims and objectives of research
What are the specific performance/technological requirements needed in such a building for it to perform as required. What is the most appropriate way to handle the passenger process from ship to shore and vice versa.

In most of the examples described in the dissertations that were reviewed, the cruise passenger took precedence in the design. After which they pass through customs before entering the public domain of the terminal.

Theoretical framework
In terms of the cruise ship terminal, the waterfront becomes the important urban consideration of the design. By recognizing that the design of the cruise terminal is a waterfront intervention, one can better respond to the context.
Precedent studies
- Introduction
- Yokohama International Port Terminal, Japan
- Sydney Overseas Passenger Terminal, Australia
- Venice Harbour Passenger Terminal, Italy
- Vancouver Passenger Terminal, Canada
- Southampton Mayflower Passenger Terminal, England
- Conclusions and Comparisons
Furthermore, the concept of the terminal as a gateway to the city was also an important requirement. The terminal should become an extension of the city, as is the case with the Sydney Passenger Terminal.
Case studies
- Introduction
- Ocean Terminal Building, Durban
- N-5hed Passenger Terminal, Durban
- Conclusions and Comparisons
Restaurants, cafes, washrooms and some administrative offices were housed to the north and south of the terminal level. In terms of the building's original use as a passenger terminal, it served as an important gateway to the city. The legibility of the terminal facility works well thanks to the large open floor space in the passenger hall.
The use of concrete was appropriate due to the hostile corrosive environment of the port. Unfortunately, the demise of the Union Castle mail boats brought a premature end to the terminal. Therefore, the idea of the cruise terminal as a gateway to the city is not present in the current building.
Of the two case studies, the Ocean Terminal Building responds more effectively as a gateway to the city.
New Cruise Liner Terminal development
- Introduction
- Brief derivation
- The brief
The main function of the terminal is to facilitate the call of cruise ships in the port of Durban. As the commercial potential of the site will be developed, the local public and visitors to Durban will also use the terminal. A good orientation that makes it possible to use southern light would be ideal in the design of the terminal.
Provision must be made in the scheme for the docking of the largest vessels. As the Durban port is primarily a working port, consideration must be given to the interaction of the terminal with the port. As far as the passenger is concerned, the cruise terminal is the first impression they get of a city.
The rehabilitation of the harbor waterfront must also be maximized to its full potential.
Site analysis and selection
- Introduction
- Maritime Museum site
- R-8erth site
- A-Berth site
- Selected site
Context: The location of the country in relation to the port and the city will be discussed. City Links/Access: The site of the Maritime Museum is ideally positioned along the Victoria Embankment. Vehicular access to the site would be from the main port entrance off Stanger Street.
City Links/Access: Due to the site's proximity to the main harbor entrance and Victoria Embankment, vehicular access is good. Pedestrian access to the site would be problematic due to the heavy vehicular traffic in the area. Strong visual connections to the terminal can be made by approaching the site off Point Road.
This allows the site to be robustly interrogated in terms of how it would respond to the development of the proposed structure.
Conclusions and Recommendations
This makes the building a landmark, as it captures the character of the city and immediately connects with its surroundings. As the port is a predominantly industrialized area, the true potential of the coastline has been lost. It is also important to emphasize that the building is not only a terminal, but should also be seen as a unique local destination for the residents of the city and its immediate surroundings.
By creating a facility that does this, the issue of terminal sustainability can be addressed more convincingly. It tends to be the case that in most examples explored in this research, a nautical imagery is repeated in the form of the building. What is also interesting to note is the tension between the scale of the cruise ship and the terminal building.
The concept of a voluminous architecture and a single unifying roof structure for the terminal design has been discussed in the research.

Introduction
Since the intended use of the building is as a cruise terminal, a given set of requirements is in place. The building must be placed in the harbour, where the size of the site allows for the mooring of vessels and the water is also deep enough to allow for the mooring of the vessels. As far as the passenger is concerned, the cruise terminal is the first impression they get of the city. the port. an entry point: the design of a NEW CRUISE TERMINAL at the Assignment and schedule of accommodation.
Because the terminal will be within sight of the city. and in close proximity to the Point development. it is essential that these two developments complement each other. Terminal facilities include telescopic ship access and dockside access. a passenger hall for baggage handling and processing. a public meet & greet area. a tourist information room, customs and security facilities. a baggage handling system. parking. Toilets. restaurants. rent a car. telecom, shops and retail outlets. the gate. a point of entry: the design of a NEW CRUISE LINER TERMINAL in the briefing and the schedule of accommodation. The accommodation scheme for the design of the new Cruise Liner Terminal is derived from the precedent and case studies conducted during the research. terminal.

Theoretical background
Due to the nature of the building function, the Cruise Liner Terminal is located in the port and water therefore becomes an important part of the design. This also suggests people's desire to use a waterfront and therefore the design makes the most of the waterfront and its views. Given the prevailing economic motivations behind such developments, the design of cruise ship terminals should therefore include specifically relevant and economically viable facilities.
This will be important to make the new cruise terminal sustainable throughout the year. By being located on A-Berth, the Cruise Liner Terminal serves as a point of reference, as the building will be visible from the harbor mouth when the ship calls into port. As a landmark, the terminal is designed to capture the character of the city and the function of the building itself.
This is enhanced in the design by the use of strong sculptural forms to create a unique building that will be identifiable as the Durban Cruise Liner Terminal.
Conceptual framework
The shape of the building is derived from the intention to define two distinctive spaces. (see figure 22). It is the announcement of arrivals to the building and the framing of a public open plaza with views of the port, city and vessel. The arrival section of the building has been purposefully set back from the road edge to minimize the impact of the scale of the building against the pavement edge.
Moreover, it is this section of the building that is directly connected to the cruise liners I. This is to minimize the angle of repose and to learn the influence of the large scale of the cruise plane. Through this, the connection of the building with the shipping line and the city is strengthened.
The building's roof shape takes its inspiration from the nautical image, especially shipbuilding technology.
Technical resolution
Environmental performance
Circulation inside the terminal is organized in a linear progression from arrival to departure, which allows access to the public entertainment part of the building. This circular path is placed in the center of the building with features surrounding the path on either side with views of the harbor giving the traveler orientation.
