Expanding its Corgan aviation studio presence across the Asia-Pacific region enables the firm to partner directly with airport operators, municipal authorities, and commercial partners to design transforming passenger terminals and complex transit infrastructure. Based in Singapore, Dawson will oversee regional client strategy, lead project execution, and scale the firm's local practice to support soaring passenger traffic and massive airport modernization programs across APAC markets.

Ranked as the third-largest architectural firm in the United States by Building Design + Construction, Corgan brings over 75 years of specialized transportation planning experience and a portfolio of iconic global gateway projects. Dawson's addition positions the firm to capture expanding market share across fast-growing aviation hubs in Southeast Asia and wider Asia-Pacific territories.
Dawson's past project work includes landmark aviation developments such as the Kansai International Airport Terminal 1 Renovation in Japan, Clark International Airport in the Philippines, and Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4. Beyond aviation facilities, Dawson previously led the design and construction management of Gardens by the Bay, Singapore's iconic $1 billion waterfront development. His deep understanding of regional construction standards, regulatory frameworks, and passenger demographics gives Corgan a strong operational anchor in Singapore.
Ben Dawson highlights that regional airports stand out globally for their sheer scale, passenger density, and architectural ambition. Expanding Corgan's international design footprint across APAC creates new opportunities to build multidisciplinary project teams tailored to meet the technical demands of regional aviation clients.
By pairing Corgan's global technical expertise proven through landmark projects like LaGuardia Airport Terminal C and Los Angeles International Airport West Gates with Dawson's local execution experience, the firm delivers data-driven, passenger-centric terminal designs built for long-term operational resilience.
