AIRPORT CULTURE Over the past few decades, airports have transformed from transportation hubs to a new kind of entity,
probably fashion hub. Today we can see the transformation of airports into multi-faceted facilities which are
designed to meet ever-changing customer demands and business requirements. Recent research indicates that
the airport is on the point of emerging as a cornerstone of 21st Century civic life. Now it has everything from
Part shopping mall, part cultural center and part Town Square.
Besides seeing that all have you ever give it a thought that why is this trend occurring? And what must today’s
airports do to take advantage of the new opportunities this new trend presents?
Fentress Architects is a firm known for its work in the airport typology. All the architects in the firm not only
help design today’s airports, but they also feel it their job to study the direction in which they are headed, not
just as a building, but as an idea. As we all know architecture is about more than the grand gestures that define
how a building looks from afar. It is also about how programmed space is organized and prioritized within,
thus allowing the conventional airport typology to evolve and adapt to industry trends of today.
Witness to the evolution At Easy Meet and Greet we better know how every airport especially Gatwick airport has first-hand
witnessed the persistent evolution of airport technology. For instance, nowself-service kiosks and smartphone
boarding passes are replacing traditional rows of check-in desks. Further more security checkpoints that were
once superficial are being replaced by even more elaborate screening schedules.
Each of these changes has led to a change in the airport’s business model, forcing the repurposing and
redesigning of space and facilities at airports. These are the changes brought about by new technology and due
to these technologies the behaviors and attitudes of passengers are changed. All the laziness and technology
oriented behavior in the mindset of today’s passengers brought about by the advancement in technology.
As you know the security arrangements are increased much at airports. Now the average time spent behind
security has increased very much since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. But as well as the numbers
of passengers are also increased much. In other words, more people than ever are spending more time than
ever before in airports.
Nowadays passengers are no longer stick themselves busy with newsstand and a holding room, but they are
seeking new ways to not only entertain them selves, but to make their time spent waiting for their flight
meaningful and entertained.
