Cologne Airport was built in the 1950s, and had become somewhat obsolete by the 1990s. In 1992, an international competition lead to Murphy/Jahn‘s commission for Terminal 2, a two-level roadway structure, Parkhaus (car parks) 2 and 3 and an underground train station. Terminal 2 follows the leg of the splayed, layered ‘U‘ configuration of the existing terminal. Its low profile extends the horizontality of the existing building. Whereas the existing building is of concrete and solid, the new building is constructed of prefabricated steel and glass components on an exposed concrete substructure, creating a light and transparent appearance. The linear concourse is simple and easy to navigate. Routes to and from the Parkhaus 2, the elevated roadway or the train station and the planes also facilitate passenger movement.
The building consists of a structural module of 30 x 30 metre (98 x 98 foot) steel trees supporting a continuously folded roof plate with north-facing skylights. The roof consists of cells, placed onto the folded plate with simple bolted connections and waterproof joint seals. The cells are designed to fulfill various functions such as: light transmission, weather barrier, exterior heat absorption, interior heat absorption, acoustic dampening and absorption, and smoke ventilation.
The facade is a lightweight cable-supported steel and glass structure. The insulating glass panels are held by ‘spiders‘ at their joints. Similar advanced lightweight and glass technologies are applied to the glass railings, elevators, fixed and moveable jet bridges, and glass floors and stairs. The long sides of the parking structures are clad in stretched panels of stainless steel mesh. Based on lighting conditions their appearance varies from opaque to transparent, generating wonderful effects while passing through it, or driving by it. The large floor plates are punctuated by light courts to achieve natural ventilation and provide daylight.
