Airport Architecture
Airports today are much more than gateways to cities, countries or continents. They have developed into city-like complexes and multifunctional systems, which while being set up to serve the needs of smoothly running air traffic, at the same time have taken on all the functions of a normal community: sleeping, shopping, work and leisure time and all that increasingly with 24-7 access. After an era of purely functional architecture, the nodal points of air traffic have become one of the most prominent architectural tasks of the present. Drawing on 60 examples, this volume shows the exciting multiplicity of contemporary airport construction and design.

RE-USE ARCHITECTURE
Gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Umwälzungen bedeuten auch immer, dass Gebäude ihren Nutzen verlieren. Zahlreiche ihrer ursprünglichen Funktionen beraubter Bauten warten darauf, einem neuen Nutzen zugeführt zu werden. Durch das zunehmende ökologische Bewusstsein, aber auch aufgrund einer zunehmenden Wertschätzung jedweder bestehenden Bausubstanz, wird – auch aus wirtschaftlichen Erwägungen – immer häufiger statt Abriss auf Umnutzung entschieden. Diese bewegt sich in einem Spannungsfeld zwischen den Polen denkmalpflegerischer Anpassung und radikaler Neuinterpretation, zwischen bewusster Einbeziehung historischer Bedeutung und der wirtschaftlichen Nutzung der vorhandenen Substanz als Rohmaterial.
