HEATHROW TERMINAL 5
by Terri Peters
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/today.html
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0604/design_1-1.html
One of the largest construction projects in Europe - and
one of the most political and controversial building
projects in the UK - the new Terminal 5 at London's
Heathrow Airport opened in March 2008, nearly 20 years
after the Richard Rogers Partnership (now Rogers Stirk
Harbour + Partners) won the commission.
Master-planner and lead architect Richard Rogers, known
for his Stirling Prize-winning Barajas New Area Terminal
in Madrid, designed the new terminal as an exclusive and
unified home for British Airways. With its wavy roof and
glazed facade, Terminal 5 (T5) creates a recognizable
face for the airport, and forms a key part of the
ongoing Heathrow renovation and expansion project.
Heathrow currently accommodates the world's largest
number of international passengers and 85 percent of the
UK's international travelers, yet it only has two
runways. The facility is running at 98 percent capacity
with little room for growth.
The ambitious £4.3 billion regeneration project
currently underway will enlarge, consolidate, and
modernize the airport over the next five years.
New works at Heathrow include this new T5 concourse
building, two satellite buildings (one opening
concurrently with T5 and one to open in 2010), a new air
control tower (completed in 2007), and the extension of
three rail links into London.

Preserving Cultural Landscapes
by Richard Longstreth
http://www.ArchitectureWeek.com/2008/0604/culture_1-1.html
Just as the concept of cultural landscape can mitigate
polarized views of nature versus artifice, so it can
bridge divisive opinions on the relative importance of
"architecture" versus "history."

** ArchitectureWeek is a low-carbon-footprint publication.
By publishing this professional design and building magazine
online-only, we save about 48 tons of paper monthly, 50 large
trees every week, or 2500 trees (a dozen or more acres of
mature conifer forest) each year, compared to reaching a
similar readership on paper - not counting these newsletters!
We provide ongoing pro-bono services to local non-profit
sustainability organizations. And our company offices are
wind energy through our local electric utilities.
