Preface
Thanks to God for giving the writers opportunity and ability to write this paper. Thanks
and Appreciation to our respect teacher: Mrs. R. Aj. Atrinawati for giving the writers this
opportunity to write this paper.
This paper is an assignment has been given to Architecture students of Diponegoro
University. The topic is about one of building in the world. The aim of this paper is to get
knowledge about Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport in Spain. The writers choose Adolfo
Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport building because the writers thinks this building having its
own uniqueness on its design and construction .

Barajas and the
former Spanish Prime Minister, Adolfo Suarez, who was the first prime minister after the
restoration of democracy and his key participation in the Spanish Transition to democracy
after Francos dictactorship. The airport was actuallyconstructed in 1927 above a large circle
bordered in white, unpaved, covered with natural grass in Madrid, near district Barajas. The
airport later was reconstructed by architecture team Richard Rogers Partnership and the
Spanish practise Estudio Lamela in 2000 and restarted its operation in air traffic in 2006.
The present Barajas Airport establish Madrid as a major European hub and consolidate its
position as the focal connection between Europe and Latin America. The airport also
incorporate automatic baggage handling systems, automatic people movers to connect the
terminal with the satellite, as well as a train and metro station. In 2011 and 2010, over 49
million passengers used Madrid Barajas Airport and making it as the countrys largest and
busiest airport. And in 2013 it was becoming
Europes sixth busiest airport.

THE ARCHITECTS
Richard Rogers and Antonio Lamela designed the T4 of the Madrid-Barajas Airport in Spain,
completed in 2004. It won the 2006 Sterling Prize.
Rogers placed a flowing canopy atop parallel circulation systems, supported by twin
diverging columns. Light and transparency punch through the hill-like roof structure.
Transitions between spaces are considered as if a person changes time zones gingerly on a
travel, with repeated structure and spaces as the visitor goes through the building from flight
to flight. The subtle change in colors punctuate this change.
Change in the vertical sense is also very apparent, as brutal concrete gives way to lifting and
floating glass. Ever the utilitarian, Rogers carefully places the mechancial and structure away
from the people but always in view, flexible and always changing.
ARCHITECTURE
Madrid Barajas airport opened its doors in 1933 and has since been expanded several times.
The last and most significant was in 1997, Barajas Airports reconstruction at 2000, when the
Aena Company convened competition to expand its airport. The competition was held
because the old Barajas Airport subsequently extended several times after the first opening in
1933 and became over-stretched. Finally after some observations the need for a new site with
a terminal, satellite, ancillary buildings and two new run ways was identified. Based on those
criterias, the client, Spanish National Airports Authority (AENA), commissioned the
architects to design a new facility as part of major
expansion plans for the existing Madrid Barajas
Airport.
Awards
The Barajas T4 was honored with the Stirling Prize of the Royal Institute of British
Architects, the most prestigious of Great Britain in architecture as well as the International
RIBA European Awards 2006, Best Engineering Project 2005 by the Institute of Engineering
Spain, the Design Award T + L 2006 in the category of 'Best Public Space'.
CONCEPTS
The building
of Barajas
Airport is
covered by a
wave roof
supported on
central
trees; and is
punctuated
by rooflights
that provide
natural light
Freehand sketch of the wave roof concept with central trees support
throughout
the upper level of the terminal, and oversailing the edge of the building to shade the facades.
The strategy is to bring natural light down into the lower lewel by making a series of light-
filled canyons that separate the parallel slices of space denote the stages of transit, from the
arrival point, to check in, security and passport control, to departure lounges and finally to the
aircraft.

The design team of this building were commited to the use of passive environmental systems
while maximising transparency and view towards the aircraft and mountains beyond. The
building benefits the north-south orientation with the primary facades facing east and west for
protecting the building against solar gain and the extreme heat of summer in Madrid. The
facades are protected by combination of deep roof overhangs and external shading. This
building adapts the low energy ventilation system and more conventional high velocity
system.
Sketch of the model of legibility and straightforward linear diagram and clear progression of spaces for depa
Barajas is a model of legibility with a straightforward linear diagram and a clear progression
of spaces for departing and arriving passengers. The ideas emerged during Richard Rogers
work in Heathrows Terminal 5 in London. The accomodation is distributed over six floors.
Three above the ground for check-in, security, boarding and baggage reclaim, and three
underground levels for maintenance, baggage processing and transferring passengers between
buildings. The lower levels of building are constructed in concrete, contrast strikingly with
the light-weight transparency of the passanger areas.
DESIGN

The materials in this building is detailing reinforces the direct simplicity of the architectural concepts
and facilitating the ultra-rapid construction programme and maximising the potential for flexibility.
The building is a series of extrusion and infinitely extendable rather than a free-standing bespoke
composition. The sheer size of the building is the key to the assembly-focused approach.
The building used 9 metre structural grid with flexible, loose-fit system employing large-
scale modular repetition as the solution to accomodate the multitude of uses in the terminal.
The building also using colorful pylons as the structures of wave roof above the building.
The smoothness of color changing pylons differ the spaces in the building. Mechanical and
structural system are placed far from the passengers reach but still can be seen, exposed,
Colorful pylons, which is actually the structure of the building, are exposed for the passanger view and defin
flexibel and fascinating.
CONSTRUCTION
The construction of the Barajas Airport terminal has been undertaken in three constructional
layers the basement which drops to as much as 20 metres (66 feet) below ground in some
places, the three storey concrete frame above ground, and the steel-framed roof. The concrete
work is in-situ, although special attention has been focused on areas where the concrete will
be visible, such as the edge strips to the canyons in which steel shuttering has been used. In a
bid to limit the height of the building, post-tensioned concrete beams restrict the depth of the
beams to only 90 centimetres (three feet). The beams were cast in lengths of 72 metres (236
feet), with concrete planks used to span between them to create the 18 by 9 metre (60 by 30
foot) grid.
The facade structure is in the form of cable kipper trusses at nine metre (30 feet) centres. A
pair of cables begin at a common point at ground level, one arcing in and one out, held apart
by compression struts that also support the horizontal glazing mullions. As the cables
approach the roof they come back together, held by a V-bracket, making a fish outline, hence
the name kipper truss.
A jacking system was
used between the roof
and terminal floor during
erection which when
released ensures that
adequate permanent
tension was introduced
in the cable trusses.
CONCLUSION
The Barajas project is the largest so far undertaken by the practice - more than one million
square metres of buildings with a budget of around one billion Euros. The new terminal and
satellite are designed to handle up to 35 million passengers annually, establishing Madrid as a
major European hub, and are located some distance to the north-west of the existing terminal
complex.
