NEW SPACES AND SERVICES FOR TRAVELERS
A rich complex of functional and architectural redevelopment of interior spaces and a contemporary building in steel, glass and copper that will house the new hall of the Florence airport.

New passenger areas and services.
An extensive system of architectural and functional redevelopment work on the internal areas and a contemporary steel, glass and copper building designed as the new arrivals hall of Florence International Airport.
The project for the extension of Florence International Airport envisages the creation of a system of works with the purpose of improving the quality of services in view of an increase in passenger numbers over the coming years. Specifically, the work concerns the extension of the arrivals terminal, with the construction of a new hall and check-in area, the functional rearrangement of the internal areas, the creation of a new commercial area and the preparation of a new baggage-handling system.
The most important work is the construction of the new arrivals terminal, with the aim of creating a new architectural image derived from the encounter of technology with the environmental and geographic context of the city of Florence, with references to the formal language of contemporary architecture. The structure will be made entirely from steel, while the cladding of the exterior will vary.
The landside façade will have a double-glazed wall with a system of screens that automatically adjusts to the level of solar radiation, while the lateral and airside will be prevalently opaque and clad with copper panels.
