marseille.airport - marseille, fr - 2024 - completed
Foster + Partners + Rougerie + Tangram Architects
The new extension at Marseille Provence Airport welcomed its first passengers in June 2024. Designed by Foster + Partners in association with Rougerie + Tangram, the landmark project establishes an overall masterplan for the future by restoring the clarity of Fernand Pouillon’s original 1960s terminal and Richard Rogers' airside development.
The lighting strategy for the new extension was developed to integrate seamlessly within the architectural and structural framework of the roof. Concealed linear elements and recessed fittings preserve the visual clarity of the space while ensuring compliance with stringent airport lighting regulations. The design prioritises uniformity, low glare, and efficiency, with detailed photometric calculations supporting performance and safety requirements.
