Athens International Airport Expansion has been shortlisted in the Future Project: Infrastructure category at the World Architecture Festival Awards 2025!
Led by an international team including Grimshaw, Haptic, K-Studio, Arup, Leslie Jones, Triagonal and Plan A, the design concept brings together the existing and the new airport facilities to extend the airport’s capacity through a phased upgrade within a live operational airport.
This unifying force in turn responds to its context – through architecture, materiality, landscape and the Athenian life. And two microcosms of this, a north and south oculus, create real Mediterranean experiences and gardens, to meet, wait and reflect: destination and dwelling places in an inherently transient environment.
We are embracing this challenge with increasing enthusiasm, as we receive a growing recognition of the design’s merit by a jury as the one of WAF!
