Abstract


The lack of integral and modernized design and the saturation of the Barcelona Airport made the remodelling of the old terminal building necessary. The old building elements conditioned the lineal solution in the remodelling. An elevated street forms the backbone of the building which, like the Ramblas in Barcelona, has shops, news stands, etc. Other new elements are the pre-boarding modules and the International terminal. The former have a glazed gallery in their perimeter: a transparent division which allows the separation of the arrival and departure flows. The new terminal rests on four large columns and has double glazing in the entire perimeter
