Every airport project should take into account how it will affect and be affected by all other aspects of the airport, says expert Kevin Ashton. And keeping that integration a priority throughout the project is key to a successful solution.
HDR’s latest Experts Talk interview introduces Ashton, aviation architecture principal and veteran of numerous landmark airport projects around the world. Ashton explains why collaboration and a big-picture approach are needed to achieve the best, most cohesive design in airports.
“Successful airport projects find the perfect balance between airside, landside and terminal operations,” Ashton said. “A constant back-and-forth between these elements and expert disciplines — adjusting each until they meet seamlessly — yields the best result.”
