Airports today are much more than gateways to cities,
countries or continents. They have developed into city-like
complexes and multifunctional systems, which while being set up to
serve the needs of smoothly running air traffic, at the same time
have taken on all the functions of a normal community: sleeping,
shopping, work and leisure time and all that increasingly with 24-7
access. After an era of purely functional architecture, the nodal
points of air traffic have become one of the most prominent
architectural tasks of the present. Drawing on 60 examples, this
volume shows the exciting multiplicity of contemporary airport
construction and design. The projects presented in this volume
include the newest large scale airports, as well as long term
building projects, smaller airports at more remote locations as
well as expansions and individual new functional areas like air
traffic control centers, hangars or lounges.
