Dalla quarta di copertina:
Airports look alike all over the world. Schiphol has conformed to the patterns of the airport, but its unique design makes it stand out. Megastructure Schiphol looks into the history of the Netherlands' most famous national airport and its sophisticated appearance.
Schiphol has grown in fits and starts as a result of ever-expanding traffic in freight and passengers. The area around Schiphol is constantly evolving, yet there is great consistency in the visual aspect of this airport, which can rightly be called a 'megastructure'. This is not merely due to the efforts of its designers, who have strived to achieve a spectacular simplicity. Other factors, such as its location in a polder and the local planning culture, have also played a role.
In Megastructure Schiphol an analysis of its metamorphoses over the past century demonstrates Schiphol's unique character and its function as a model for other airports. The question of how Schiphol and the surrounding metropolis can be tailored to one another is examined from the standpoint of economics, infrastructure, design and image-making.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Amsterdam Airport Schipol can genuinely be called a megastructure. Originally opened in 1916, Schipol has been added to in fits and starts over the years, maintaining throughout its construction an extraordinary consistency and simplicity of design, and expanding to become a city in its own right. Now one of the world's busiest airports, Schipol enjoys an iconic status in Holland, and not only because of its sheer scale--its signage, for example, developed by the information design firm Mijksenaar, has been adopted by airports all around the world and is admired today as a classic motif of Dutch Design. Megastructure Schipol looks at the history of Schipol: its metamorphoses over the years; its function as a model for other airports; and its unique accommodation of the surrounding metropolis, in terms of economics, infrastructure, design and image-making.
