Day 3 - 16 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

10:35 - 11:05 - The renewed Venice International Airport is taking shape
Synopsis: Venice International Airport represents a major infrastructure, which has witnessed relevant growth in recent years due to the introduction of new routes. While expanding the number of passengers, the airport has started the process of refurbishment and 100,000m2 extension of the terminal, which will transform the facility into a state-of-the-art international airport. While doubling in size, the project presents a unique advantage by preserving the local identity, already inherent in the strong character of the existing airport. By the beginning of 2017, the first lot will be completed and connected to the water terminal.

Audience will learn:

• The challenge to design an innovative terminal in which the passengers feel Venice's identity
• How to restore the existing while creating the new: three-phase evolution
• How to refurbish and extend an airport while keeping it always operative
• How to plan and design a long-term flexible terminal
