The transparency of the structure and the view of the sky places the pending flight in the car park and lets the journey begin right there.

Aesthetically, the structure finds its expression in the vehicles’ high tech design. The front is split into rectangles of glass and ventholes that emerge as transparent and reflecting entities. This structural openness creates a fusion between the airport’s different worlds of traffic.

Inside the car park, the glass front reflects in the surfaces of the cars, and with a glance towards light and the sky, the trip from asphalt to sky is sensed as an introduction to the flight. The car park’s front concept has been continued in new car parks in 2001 and 2002 Copenhagen Airport - Parking Building PR from KHR 220207
