A real high-flier

摘要

There are many reasons why T5 can claim to be a cutting-edge airport terminal. In architectural terms, here are four important innovations that Rogers has introduced: Whereas nearly all other airport terminals are one or two storeys, T5 has the relatively high-rise format of four public storeys above ground, as well as three service floors below ground. The 300,000m2 building was squeezed upwards by the need to fit between the airport's two runways and the green belt beyond them.
