Terminal 5, Heathrow Airport

The distinctive curve of the roof and transparent façades will provide a recognisable and open image for Heathrow

Glazed panels between the structure of the roof let natural light flood into the top level of the airport

A road runs the full length of the airport as a drop off and pick up area

An open air piazza links the terminal with transport links to London and the south

The structure within can be adapted and changed without affecting the external fabric, allowing for maximum flexibility

The baggage system is one of the largest and most complex of any airport

From the gates, passengers can see planes arriving and departing

The single span roof is held up at the edges by large structural ‘trees’

Passengers enter the terminal on the top floor

The baggage system is one of the largest and most complex of any airport
