Looking good….I presume it is relatively easy to add the same again if they want to expand even further?
Just wondering that myself. On one plan, I forget which version it was, there appeared to be room for further extension but was that just additional room for vehicle access of baggage trains from airside to baggage reclaim under the current scheme.Looking good….I presume it is relatively easy to add the same again if they want to expand even further?
The cladding usually has insulating material in a sandwich inside it.It makes you wonder how cladded structures can be energy efficient, there’s nowt to that wall. Based on that it should be weather tight soon.
True but much like every other UK airport terminal. The Manchester Transformational Project isn't any better, just much bigger.I know it's not finished but goodness that's ugly. Definitely function over form.
I would rather it be ugly and work than pretty and useless.I know it's not finished but goodness that's ugly. Definitely function over form.
Frankly with only the end wall actually clad, and the main wall which has windows not even started, it's a bit early to be judging anything. However, remember this scheme is as planned in 2018. Significant external changes would have had to go back to the Plans Panel. Not a good idea.I would rather it be ugly and work than pretty and useless.
They have only clad the end of it, there not going to clad the whole terminal extension in that light grey colour, if you look at the artist impressions of the finished terminal the full length of the extension is broken up with what appears to be a tinted glass full length window section, and the bottom section (roughly ground level) is full length in a darker colour, a nice touch i feel breaking up the grey/silver, Plus the right side of the extension has that colourful graphic/logo on it (still believe it should be replaced with the words "leeds bradford airport" on it though.)I know it's not finished but goodness that's ugly. Definitely function over form.
I don't give 2 hoots what it looks like as long as it works. Look at Moscow, bloody awful! View attachment 31378In fairness I'd say both Liverpool and Donny showed that it's possible to look good quality whilst still being a regional airport terminal. Even more so the more recent planned new terminal at LBA. Sadly this is clearly on a much lower budget.
