France-Marseille: Designing a sustainable airport terminal.
Background
Background
Inaugurated in 1961 to the designs of Fernand Pouillon, the great architect of post-war construction in Marseille and in particular the Vieux Port frontage, the current Terminal 1 is a legacy of the airport's history that has not undergone any major transformation for 30 years.
In order to adapt to international standards of reception and efficiency, the "Coeur d'Aéroport" project will expand the surface area of the current terminal 1 to offer an enriched experience and a simplified journey, in a setting adorned with the colors of Provence.
Designed by architect Norman Foster and inspired by his shade structure installed 10 years earlier on the quay of the Vieux Port in Marseille, this "Cœur d'Aéroport" must be able to create emotion and offer a unique and memorable experience to travelers landing in Provence.
The Challenges
- Multi-sensorial experience: Develop a multi-sensorial experience that honors Provence.
- Emotional connection: Creat a bond with the new generations of travelers
- The wow effect: Designing the future icon of the airport
However, if your project does not fit into any of these themes do not hesitate to opt for the 'out of the box' !
Don't forget that you can also participate multiple times by submitting different projects.
