Foster + Partners chosen to design new CPK airport between Warsaw and Lodz – Business Traveller

Foster + Partners has won a competition to design the forthcoming CPK airport in Poland.

The architectural firm will work with fellow British company Buro Happold on the project, which the firms said would “find a balance between operational efficiency, environmental responsibility and symbolic expression”.

CPK airport is to be built on land around 25 miles southwest of Warsaw, with Polish authorities hoping to have the airport operational by 2028, initially serving up to 40 million passengers per year before ramping up to 65 million by 2060.

The working name for the airport stands for “Centralny Port Komunikacyjny” – and Foster + Partners said that the project “will act as a symbolic gateway to Poland, a 21st century transport interchange which brings together air, rail and road, while reflecting the country’s national identity and providing exceptional passenger experience”.
