Frankfurt Airport T1; GraviVent

Description

Transparent and flooded with light, that is how Gate A-Plus at Frankfurt Airport presents itself. This extension was designed by the Hamburg firm of architects gmp (von Gerkan, Marg and partner): The planers focussed on a virtually full glass façade towards the south and the runway and spanned the rotunda in the business area with a glass dome. Even the areas where escalators connect the various floor levels give a taste of the sky. They too have transparent, slightly doomed glass roofs.
