KAAN Architecten’s terminal extension for Schiphol Airport maintains single vision
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol has chosen KAAN Architecten’s design to extend the airport via a new terminal building. The new building will open in 2023 allowing 14 million more passengers to travel through Schiphol per year. In extend- ing an existing terminal it makes it possible to retain the airport’s original ‘one terminal’ concept. The project consortium has appointed Netherlands design firm Arnout Meijer Studio as “innovative thinker”. The expansion is required in order to
strengthen the competitive position of Mainport Schiphol, to keep pace with the growth in aviation and to continue to enhance the position of ‘Europe’s preferred airport’ among both airlines and passengers.
The last time that Schiphol permanently expanded the terminal was in 1993, when the current Departure Halls 3 and 4 and Arrival Halls 3 and 4 were built.

Populous and Egis secure committee’s approval for Paris 2014 Olympic and Paralympic venues
Plans to transform Paris into an Olympic Park for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games were officially approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) today when it named the French capital as the host of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
International design practice Populous and Paris-based international consultancy and engineering group Egis were chosen in 2016 to collaborate on the Paris 2024 bid, and provide the technical expertise and assistance required to develop plans for 38 Olympic and Paralympic venues across Paris.
As part of preparing the bid, Populous and Egis have worked in association with ISC, a sport and culture consulting agency on plans to ensure the existing venues are
ready for the scale and needs of Olympic and Paralympic events.
Populous senior principal Ben Vickery
said: “We are proud to have played a part in the successful Paris 2024 bid. Bringing people together to enjoy an unforgettable experience is the overriding ambition of Populous in all that we do and is at the heart of the Paris 2024 vision. “The city will be a magnificent Olympic Park, and transforming some of the world’s most beautiful and historic sites into temporary stunning stages for sport will provide unforgettable images around the globe.”
Egis chairman and CEO Nicolas Jachiet
said: “Our group is proud to have taken part in this Olympic and Paralympic bid adventure. Our consulting teams have
contributed all their expertise, their capabilities in technical and organisa- tional issues and their project manage- ment know-how to help to bring the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics to Paris.” Diogo Taddei, from Egis, who super- vised the work of the design consortium preparing the successful bid, commented: “Our mission was to understand how each sport and discipline could best function in existing venues, new buildings when required as legacy and temporary modular sites, identifying the best option in each case.
“One of the biggest challenges was to transform illustrious Parisian monuments into sports venues, adapting them to the requirements of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.”
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol CEO Jos Nijhuis commented on the design, saying that it suited Schipol’s “fundamentals”. He said: “That was the main reason why the jury decided to choose this design. The design solution contributes to excellent
processing, it provides optimal support to passengers, contributes to our sustainability ambitions, and is future-proof.” He added: “We are looking forward to welcoming airlines and passengers into the new terminal and adjacent new pier.”
