Transport infrastructure / airports
Project
Rehabilitation, modernization, and expansion of airport facilities and new building facilities at Ioannina international airport, Greece
Location: Greece
Client: Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority
Date: 2001 – 2005
Construction costs: approx. € 50 million
Technical Details
The project involves the construction of a new passenger terminal, with a GFA of 10,500 m²; to accommodate 270,000 pax/annum, a new air traffic control tower and new cargo and fire station buildings, the extension of the airside apron and the landing runway as well as the reorganisation of the landside facilities, including car parks.
The design of the passenger terminal prioritizes the creation of an efficient, and clearly organized facility, ensuring intuitive orientation for both passengers and visitors. The spatial layout is based on principles of functional clarity, direct circulation paths, and visual legibility, optimizing passenger flows.
The linear organization of public and operational zones allows for efficient processing and clear separation of functions. The building is strategically oriented toward the landscape of Ioannina, maximizing visual connections to the lake and surrounding mountains through an extensive glazed façade system. Its horizontal form and curved, wave-like roof echo the contours of the terrain and the motion of flight. Transparency and natural light create openness and visual connection between interior and exterior, while earth-toned materials harmonize with the environment.
