In the 1990s Sondika Airport, north of the city of Bilbao in the Basque region of Spain, became unable to cope with the growing demand for flights. Initially, Santiago Calatrava was commissioned to design a small extension, but eventually this grew into a second airport building. The massive transformation of Bilbao from port city to international cultural destination includes a planned direct connection from the airport to the underground system designed by Norman Foster, with the ultimate aim of accommodating up to 10 million passengers each year. The new airport building consists of a giant glazed hall, its flying curves instantly recognizable as Calatrava‘s. The space is structured with a combination of shallow shells and slender concrete beams which follow and accentuate the shells‘ curves. The roof sweeps upwards towards the runways, absorbing the flow of passengers in one continuous movement from its approach along the drop-off area. Ramps and passages peel off from the main hall, disappearing underground into the underbelly of the car-parks, or leading up to the airy viewing platform. The building is dynamic in its flows and creates an incredible sense of gravity, constituting an appropriate transition space between earth and sky.
