The project began when local governments in Kansai Japan began exploring an ability to compete with Tokyo in regards to travel. There was a commission put in place to explore possible sites for a new airport. ... Discussion of an airport at sea began to be discussed as an actual possibility. ... They argued that the airport could operate 24 hours a day and the possibilities for expansion if successful were limitless. ...
The government of Kansai invited five groups comprised of construction and engineering superfirms to propose plans to construct an island on which an airport could be built. After selecting a proposal, which appeared plausible, the government began to explore the building of the actual airport. ... Andreu drew one multilevel terminal which would house both the domestic and international flights. ...
The group agreed that the airport should have adequate architectural prominence to correspond with the cost and engineering at use. A high profile international competition was announced. ... Upon receipt of an invitation the Renzo Piano Building Workshop had reservations in submitting a proposal for the airport. ... A group was assembled in Paris, near the Pompidou Centre, to produce the later winning airport scheme. ... The challenge now lay in refining the winning entry into an airport that could be realized in a relatively short period of time.
