Here is a video of the Ruler taking a tour of the latest Cityscape show in Dubai last week. Fast forward the video to 1:40 minutes, and thats where we have a small clip of DWC. You will notice a whole new design to the terminals, and concourses, great design.

Looks like they're going for the Y shaped terminals.... And in a similar move to DXB, they will replicate the concourse design to maintain uniformity across the airport. Interesting change.

On the other hand it could just be a concept design or place holder....
The website shows the masterplan with the previous design, but also includes the 1st completed runway and the 1st terminal building:
And to be honest, I am not sure I like the concept design....

Passengers will just need to swipe their passports at e-Gates to enter and exit the airports
By Mohammed Al SadafyPublished Monday, October 15, 2012
Officials and media persons inspect the new e-gate system to be installed at the Dubai Airport in January 2013 (SUPPLIED)
Dubai will introduce self-process e-Gates or “Smart Gates” whereby the passengers won’t have to stand in long passport control queues but walk straight through the gates by swiping their passports at the e-Gate scanner, said a senior official.
The e-Gates will be equipped with automatic identification system, automatic iris scan and facial imprint, thus allowing passengers to check in or check out of the airport within 22 seconds without entry or exit stamps on their passports, said Major General Mohammed Al Marri, Director of the Department of Residency and Foreigners Affairs at the Dubai Naturalisation and Residency Department.
In the first stage, 100 e-Gates will be installed at Terminal 3 in January 2013 and by the end of 2014 all the terminals will be equipped with these e-Gates.
Thani Abdullah Al Zafeen, General Manager of Emaratech, said passengers will be required to just swipe their passports at e-Gate scanner and walk through the airport.
“E-Gate will enable quicker passenger traffic and improve security. In case of a fake passport, e-Gate will prevent passengers from entering and alert the officer on duty,” Al Zafeen added.
Data by Statistics Department of DNRD in Dubai showed that the number of passengers travelling through Dubai Airports exceeded 50 million last year, including 30 million transit passengers.
Mobile phone
Al Marri also revealed that Dubai plans to introduce a new self-process technology whereby passengers travelling through Dubai Airport can enter and exit using their smartphones.
The mobile phones will work as a smart e-gate card and this facility can be used both by UAE residents and tourists/visitors.
Speaking at a press conference at Gitex, Al Marri said airlines coming to Dubai will share passenger data and this will make help passengers pass through the airport without hassle.
The project is being discussed and evaluated with Dubai Airports, Emirates, foreign carriers and Emaratech, a technology and professional services company.
Al Marri refused to disclose the launch date of the project. "We implement a project only after thorough study. All aspects of security will also be taken into account beore implementing the project,” he added.
