The Zurich Airport
project involved the refurbishment of
33,000 sq m and the addition of 37,000
sq m of new build.
- Landside -The Landside Centre of the airport is located above the main-line train station the provides travellers with connections to Zurich's public transport systems. Grimshaws say that the design is based on, "... a layered and streamlined organisation of key service areas, it is integrated into the landside access system at the intersection of all surface routes. A priority of the design is to ease passenger movement."     ********************** - Airside - "The Airside is
the hub of the airport, connecting
its two existing terminals and
associated finger docks. The
longitudinal structure is graceful,
yet monumental in scale. An
aerodynamically curved steel roof,
supported by steel A-Frames, spans
the 250-metre passenger hall which
contains retail, dining, and lounge
facilities. "
