APA Czech Dulinski Wróbel photo: ©Bartosz Makowski 2016 Element Façade with CLIMAPLUS COOL-LITE XTREME 60/28 Products After a three-year extension and modernization, the Krakow Airport is now the second largest, fastest growing and the most modern airport in Poland. With 55.000 m 2 of facilities, the Airport is now capable of serving 8 million passengers annually. Designed by APA Czech Dulinski Wróbel Architects, the intention was to make the new terminal front a recognizable sign identifying Krakow Airport. Thus, they decided to build the facade in the form of a glass prism with a significantly tilted front, and covered with a copper rooftop. The design of the building allows adding not only a higher dynamic and expression to the Airport, but also rational, functional and technical solutions for the sunlit facade. While selecting performance materials for the building, the new terminal prevents from undesired heat gain and minimizes the use of energy- consuming air-conditioning systems. We can easily say that we have built a new airport…passengers are provided with a much higher level of service and comfortable conditions. Jan Pamula, Krakow Airport President Kraków, POLAND
