Airport of the Future 2020 Global Student Competition Shortlist Announced
Fentress Architects announced 22 entries have been shortlisted for the 2020 Fentress Global Challenge (FGC), which garnered more than 100 entries from students in over 15 countries. FGC is an annual international student design competition launched in 2011 by Curtis Fentress, FAIA, RIBA, that encourages and rewards innovative design in public architecture. This year’s competition challenged students to envision airport mobility in the year 2100.
“Each year I am ever more impressed by the vision, creativity, and practicality set forth by these young architects,” said Curtis Fentress who is also Principal in Charge of Design at Fentress Architects. “This year’s shortlist couldn’t be more diverse; they range from a modular floating terminal to a self-growing airport integrated into the site’s ecosystem. Each concept pioneers creativity, advances innovation and recognizes real solutions that would enhance the passenger experience of 2100.”
