Terminal 3

For our first project we had to pick a building or structure that we find interesting and that we could find out a lot about.

I chose malaga airport because I have visited it every year for the past 10 years and have seen how it has changed over the years. We have a second home in Spain so we go frequently and I have really enjoyed seeing how much the airport has developed, every year we go we see something else new or that has changed, its a nice surpirse for us every time we go.

To begin with, Malaga started of rather small and the building consisted of purely stone, marble, statues and large archways. It was first opened in 1919 and after high demand they opened new terminals.

I particuarly like the way they managed to merge both the old section of the airport with the new modern concrete and glass section. And also how they managed to keep the airport running at the same efficiency when the expansion was going on. This is something the architect, Ricardo Bofill, would have had to seriously think about.
