Heathrow airport has revealed the shortlist of four leading UK architectural practices who will bid to provide the final design concept for the airport's expan- sion, which includes Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, HOK and Benoy, as well as conceptual images of their designs. With the Government due to make its long-awaited
decision on whether Heathrow or Gatwick will be the recipient of a new runway as the UK's main hub airport this summer, Heathrow asked the architect to come up with visions of a “sustainable” airport for the future. In a statement Heathrow airport commented: “We
challenged the architects to push the boundary of what an airport could and should be. They were asked to come up with bold ideas to create a world-class sustainable airport that would deliver innovations in passenger service, integrate local communities and showcase the best of British design.” Affordability and flexibility were also key to the brief “to ensure that Heathrow remained adaptable in the fast-paced world of global aviation.”
The architects wil be asked to further refine their
briefs in the next phase of the tender process before a final concept designer is selected in July. Heathrow’s head of design Barry Weekes commented:
“The visionary concepts are just the start of a dialogue which will fundamentally redefine what an airport is, how it looks and feels, how it interacts with its environ- ment and an increasingly demanding generation of new passengers
and importantly enhancing how
it connects with the communities around it. Our ambition is to transform Heathrow once again – build- ing Britain a value for money global gateway at the fore- front of sustainable development and innovative design.” He added: “From welcoming Concorde to the landmark Terminals 2 and 5, Heathrow has always been at the heart of showcasing the best of British innovation and design.” Concepts shown: Grimshaw (top left); Zaha Hadid Architects (top right); HOK (bottom right)
