 HASSELL on Site with New Christchurch Integrated TerminalDesigned by HASSELL, in conjunction with celebrated local architects Warren and Mahoney the new Christchurch Integrated Terminal is currently on site.This major project sees the demolition of the existing 1960 domestic terminal and the creation of a new state of the art facility that will provide Christchurch International Airport Limited with facilities of an international standard to service the growing air travel market within New Zealand. The development consists of the new terminal, offices, a multi-storey car park, surface car parking with a landscape plaza and airside works. It is currently the largest construction project in the South Island. Responding to the latest developments in air travel, the new terminal is unique in a number of ways: its new check-in hall is designed to accommodate innovative self service kiosks and compact check in desks facilitating faster passenger processing; traditionally separate airside departure lounges have been centralised to maximize flexibility, improve wayfinding and maximize space utilisation; and landside approach is across an innovative traffic free plaza., rather than by crossing the multitude of roads currently at the terminal. The new building brings together the check-n facilities of both Domestic and International operations maximizing the use of the counter infrastructure. more HASSELL on Site with New Christchurch Integrated Terminal design directory HASSELL > Multidisciplinary Design Companies added by Levent OZLER |

 Peter Zumthor of Switzerland Becomes the 2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize LaureatePeter Zumthor of Switzerland has been chosen as the 2009 Laureate of the Pritzker Architecture Prize.The formal ceremony for what has come to be known throughout the world as architecture's highest honor will be held on May 29 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At that time, a $100,000 grant and a bronze medallion will be bestowed on the 65-year old architect. Although most of his work is in Switzerland, he has designed projects in Germany, Austria, The Netherlands, England, Spain, Norway, Finland and the United States. His most famous work is in Vals, Switzerland - the Thermal Baths, which has been referred to by the press as "his masterpiece." Most recently critics have praised his Field Chapel to Saint Nikolaus von der Flue near Cologne, Germany. The jury singled out not only those buildings, but also the Kolumba Museum in Cologne, calling the latter "a startling contemporary work, but also one that is completely at ease with its many layers of history." In announcing the jury's choice, Thomas J. Pritzker, chairman of The Hyatt Foundation, quoted from the jury citation, "Peter Zumthor is a master architect admired by his colleagues around the world for work that is focused, uncompromising and exceptionally determined." And he added, "All of Peter Zumthor's buildings have a strong, timeless presence. He has a rare talent of combining clear and rigorous thought with a truly poetic dimension, resulting in works that never cease to inspire." more Peter Zumthor of Switzerland Becomes the 2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate design directory The Pritzker Architecture Prize > Architecture Awards added by Levent OZLER |
