A consortium consisting of Foster + Partners and Buro Happold has successfully won a competition to design the new CPK airport between Warsaw and Łódź.
Now that this stage is complete, construction planning is underway, with a start date of next year planned across the 3,000ha site. Scheduled for completion in 2028, it is set to replace Chopin at the central airport in Poland’s capital.
Grant Brooker, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: “We are proud and excited to be chosen by CPK as the designers of this project. In collaboration, we will work together to create a model for the future of totally integrated transportation design. We believe that this project will completely revolutionise travel across the country and beyond. The vision of woven architectural form is deliberately and strongly expressed. It could shape the building and guide the passengers through its spaces, while also serving as a powerful symbolic reference to Poland’s rich cultural heritage and the united strength of its people.”
Following construction, the CPK airport will initially serve up to 40 million passengers before expanding to meet the 65 million passenger target in 2060.
