The expansive prairie landscapes in Alberta, where the wind whips across the vast expanses of grass and grain fields and forms the snow into bizarre drifts in winter, are so familiar to the architects from the Edmonton office Dialog that they were inspired by this natural spectacle in their design for the new tower at Edmonton International Airport: Undulating, three-dimensional ribbons wrap around the eight-storey, almost elliptical structure. They are interrupted by recessed ribbon windows with views of the Alberta landscape. Behind the façade are around 12,000 m² of offices, retail and restaurants.
The tower owes its eye-catching effect to the irregularly high and wide façade bands in the large herbaceous system. The architects opted for “Rheinzink-prePatina blue-grey”, as this surface picks up on the play of colors of the Canadian landscape and blends in with the ensemble of existing airport buildings. The positive properties of the material were also convincing: in addition to being maintenance-free and durable, the architects were also interested in its good formability.
Just as the wind leaves its mark on the landscape, each part of the complex façade was to be unique. The shapes of the bands and the plans for the steel substructure were developed using a computer-aided 3D model. To test how the materials could be processed, a test section was produced on a scale of 1:1 before assembly.
