Abstract


This huge hangar has been built for Deutsche Lufthansa to accommodate six planes of the Boeing 747 type, or even larger, and covers some 30,000 square meters of ground, with a free height of 22 meters and a door 21,5 meters high, with possibilities for future extension. The design, which is described in the article, was the winner of a competition. It is original and very functional, consisting basically of vertical elements in unfaced, reinforced concrete, with a hanging roof of lightweight, prestressed concrete, and was the design which offered the greatest advantages economically and technically, and from the point of view of easy extension.
