Full-Throttle Architecture 

The romance and the drama of air travel, aided in no small part by the advent of the jet engine, has left its architectural legacy. Think iconic buildings like Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal at New York’s JFK, for instance. But along came the 747 and mass transportation by air led to, well, mass airport construction on the ground, not all of it good. Norman Foster’s 1991 Stansted Airport changed all that, its paradigm-shifting design blazing a trail for high-tech-architectural projects worldwide. Architonic takes to the skies to investigate.

The Mile-High Club: how London's high-tech architects came to dominate airport design

Text: Klaus Leuschel

Ever since Norman Foster's game-changing Stansted Airport was completed almost 25 years ago, it's been full throttle for London's high-tech architects, with their aviation-celebrating terminals around the globe themselves been celebrated for their progressive, aspirational designs.

Publishers DOM-Verlag recently stated in the form of a new book on airports as a building type: "Airports, as pivotal points and linchpins, are the gateways to urban regions, as well as showcases to the world. They could be deemed flagship places for ambitious urban-development projects. However, rarely do built-reality and design requirements collide with each other as much as they do in the vicinity of large airports.”

It has long been a truism that airports have mutated into shopping centres with excellent transport links, dominated by brand worlds. Here, great significance is attached to time. If, however, it is true that “time is money”, then this raises, above all, the question “For whom?” For airport operators in any event. They are trying to make moving through bars, restaurants, shops and advertising as pleasant as possible. The leitmotif of such amenities is additional revenue. Ergo, anything else only distracts from this. This makes things hard for architecture...

Material Tendencies No. 3: Richard Hutten

Richard Hutten is known for his playful approach to design. Always wondering how he might add something fresh and unusual, his aim is to create new possibilities to the already existing. His works reflect his personal signature, which might be described as optimistic, fun, friendly and surprising.

Architonic met the Dutch designer to find out which material he would chose if asked to work with just one for the next three years.

Richard Hutten: ‘That is a tough question. I like all materials – and I don’t like limitations. I like freedom and I like to do whatever I want. I do everything. It also depends on what I will be designing for the next few years. One of my favourite materials is wood because it is a nice warm material. It can be any kind of wood – as long as it is not killing the rainforest, it’s fine with me.
