由foster + partners、FR-EE (Fernando Romero Enterprise) 和荷兰机场顾问团组成的合作团队在墨西哥国际机场方案竞赛中脱颖而出，赢得了对墨西哥新国际机场的设计权。      该机场占地555000平方米，建成后将成为世界上最大的机场之一。foster + partners工程设计团队期望这个机场的设计构思能够打破传统的想法。整个机场航站楼被一种轻质的网格状材料包裹，包括墙体和屋顶，打造一种整体且流动性的外形，唤起乘客的飞行体验。机场将在明年上半年动工，预计在2018年建成。 It has been announced that a collaboration between foster + partners, FR-EE (Fernando Romero Enterprise) and Netherlands airport consultants has won the international competition to design Mexico city’s new international airport. At 555,000 square metres, it will be one of the world’s largest airports. Conceived with foster + partners engineering team, the project revolutionizes airport design – the entire terminal is enclosed within a continuous lightweight gridshell, embracing walls and roof in a single, flowing form, evocative of flight. Work will start on the new building early next year and it is expected to be completed by 2018.

巨大的圆形花园像是在欢迎所有在该机场降落的乘客。     19世纪90年代斯坦斯特德机场航站楼的再创造在全球范围内掀起了模仿狂潮，这是第一次打破传统的框架进行创新性设计。该设计对于大跨度建筑提出了一个新的概念，整个机场成为一个连通的整体。这样的设计不仅使机场的造型更加美观而且整个机场空间更加灵活，实现了机场服务效率的提升。这将给乘客带来独一无二的旅程体验。     “这个设计为机场内部变动和乘客流量增加提供了最大化变通的可能。墨西哥政府在对这座机场的投资上更加注重首创精神，充分明白其在社会和经济方面以及城市未来规划上的重要性。目前在世界上这还是独一无二的。” – lord norman foster. Upon arrival to the airport travelers will be greeted by a huge circular garden. Stansted airport’s reinvention of the conventional terminal in the 1990s was emulated worldwide – this breaks with that model for the first time. It pioneers a new concept for a large-span, single airport enclosure, which will achieve new levels of efficiency and flexibility– and it will be beautiful. The experience for passengers will be unique. “Its design provides the most flexible enclosure possible to accommodate internal change and an increase in capacity. Mexico has really seized the initiative in investing in its national airport, understanding its social and economic importance and planning for the future. There will be nothing else like it in the world.” – lord norman foster.

新机场的跨度超过了100米，是传统机场跨度的3倍，内部最大的跨度是170米，巨大的规模将成为墨西哥建筑的象征。轻质玻璃材料、钢架结构以及高耸的拱顶相对于墨西哥城市土壤条件是一种挑战。独特的可预制的结构可以使机场能够快速建成，不需要搭建手脚架。这个由墨西哥建造师和工程师建造的机场将会展示墨西哥人的创新精神。 With spans in excess of 100 metres, three times the span of a conventional airport, it has a monumental scale inspired by Mexican architecture and symbolism. The maximum span internally is 170 metres. The lightweight glass and steel structure and soaring vaulted roof are designed for Mexico city’s challenging soil conditions. Its unique pre-fabricated system can be constructed rapidly, without the need for scaffolding – the airport will be a showcase for Mexican innovation, built by Mexican contractors and engineers.

整个机场的服务系统集中在底层，顶层将空出来用于各种管道的铺设，这些管道将裸露在外表面。满足热学和声学要求的外包层不仅能够充分利用太阳能，收集雨水，而且能够提供阴影，引入日照，同时收入周围景观。LEED设备将取代通风设备将清新的空气引入航站楼内，有效调节内部的气候。一年的大部分时间，建筑内部的温度调节几乎100%依靠于外部空气，基本上不需要额外的加热或者制冷设备。 The entire building is serviced from beneath, freeing the roof of ducts and pipes and revealing the environmental skin. This hardworking structure harnesses the power of the sun, collects rainwater, provides shading, directs daylight and enables views – all while achieving a high performance envelope that meets high thermal and acoustic standards. The LEED platinum design works with Mexico city’s temperate, dry climate to fill the terminal spaces with fresh air using displacement ventilation principles. For a large part of the year, comfortable temperatures will be maintained by almost 100% outside air, with little or no additional heating or cooling required.

“我选择fernando romero，是因为我希望和一位积极的、精力充沛并且愿意相互分享所学的年轻建筑师进行一次真正的合作。” – Norman foster “I approached Fernando Romero because I wanted to work with somebody from a younger generation, who is energetic and to impart our shared knowledge – a true collaboration. ” – Norman foster

“Lord Norman foster为21世纪墨西哥建筑做出杰出的贡献，我认为我们之间的合作将使这个机场将成为一个标志性的项目。墨西哥在大规模建筑上有悠久的历史，有过很多杰出的工程，这个新的机场将会达到一个新的高度。” – Fernando Romero “Lord Norman foster and I are united by the interest that this airport becomes an emblematic project. One that contributes towards building the 21st century identity for mexico. The country has a rich history of building on a monumental scale and of extraordinary engineering – this new airport is a celebration of those achievements. ” – Fernando Romero
