Nueva Terminal de Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY La nueva terminal del Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco, que sirve a la ciudad de Montevideo, capital de Uruguay, es el primer proyecto de aeropuerto de la empresa y el segundo edificio de Rafael Viñoly , actualmente en construcción en su país de origen.
Creado para ampliar la capacidad y estimular el crecimiento comercial y el turismo en la región circundante, la terminal está prevista para principios de 2009. El Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco, oficialmente conocido como "Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso", se encuentra a 11 millas (18 kilómetros) al este del centro de Montevideo.
Con un millón de pasajeros por año, es uno de los dos únicos aeropuertos del país que proporcionan conexiones internacionales durante todo el año y, como resultado, es de gran valor simbólico como la "puerta de entrada" para muchos visitantes.
Con esta distinción en mente, Puerta del Sur, el propietario y operador del aeropuerto, encargó a Rafael Viñoly Arquitectos PC ampliar y modernizar las instalaciones existentes con una espaciosa nueva terminal de pasajeros, para aumentar la capacidad y estimular el crecimiento comercial y el turismo en la región.
El diseño del edificio hace hincapié en sus zonas públicas y servicios, - incluyendo el hall lateral a la pista de aterrizaje, así como la plena accesibilidad a la terraza y hall de salidas - proporcionando a estos ámbitos una abundancia de espacios abiertos y luz natural, restaurantes, locales comerciales y vistas panorámicas, todos alojados bajo un techo suavemente curvo, de 1.000 pies (300 metros) de largo.

Las llegadas y salidas están separadas por plantas, con llegadas sobre el nivel del suelo, las salidas en el primer piso, y las vías de acceso vehicular que sirven a cada nivel independientemente.
Una terraza pública ajardinada ocupa la segunda planta por encima del nivel de salida, ofreciendo vistas de la pista y el hall principal. También ofrece un restaurante y un espacio adicional para otros usos comerciales o culturales.
Después de terminar el check-in y los procedimientos de seguridad, los viajeros que salen tienen acceso a free shops -tiendas libres de impuestos- y restaurantes en las zonas de espera.
Al llegar los viajeros pasan a través de un entrepiso, totalmente acristalado que permite ver la pista y la terminal, de forma de orientarlos en su recorrido a la reclamación de equipaje, aduanas, inmigración, y el área de duty-free shops. Un atrio abierto al lado de la calle de entrada enlaza visual y espacialmente el inicio y la finalización de las etapas del recorrido del viajero, y abre la planta baja al monumental espacio de la sala principal.
El nivel de salida es un gran volumen, en consonancia con una larga tradición de los grandes halls de estaciones de transporte.

El acristalamiento en los cuatro lados y la delgada estructura de soporte permiten al techo flotar por encima de la construcción, y una trama de lucernarios circulares proporciona luz natural adicional.
Principales características: • el techo curvo mantiene un bajo perfil en el paisaje • uso estratégico de la iluminación natural y las vistas guían a los viajeros a través del circuito de llegada o salida.• el diseño destaca los espacios públicos, tanto para los viajeros como para los amigos y familia que los esperan o despiden."En Uruguay, los amigos y la familia todavía vienen a darle la bienvenida en el aeropuerto o a despedirlo", dice Rafael Viñoly, "por lo que esta terminal ofrece grandes espacios para la gente que no viaja, así como para los que si lo hacen. El atrio, la sala principal, la terraza, y el hall para pasajeros hacen de este un lugar espectacular y acogedor para todos. "
Sección.
Sección. Las llegadas y salidas están separadas verticalmente para la eficaz circulación y por razones de seguridad.
El atrio de la calle adyacente a la entrada une visual y espacialmente a estas dos etapas del recorrido del viajero, la planta baja se abre al monumental espacio de la sala principal.
Planta baja. Los carruseles de equipaje y los puestos de control aduanero se encuentran en el nivel de salida de planta baja.
La espaciosa sala de llegadas está conectada a la sala de las salidas que está encima por medio de un atrio abierto, lo que trae más luz a la planta baja del edificio.
Primera planta. El nivel de salida cuenta con el hall público y el hall de pasajeros con un restaurante y el espacio de tiendas libres de impuestos; estos atrios están separados por el control de seguridad y el control de inmigración en el centro de la planta.
Cuatro puentes peatonales elevados fijos, albergan un total de ocho puertas de embarque, se conectan estrechamente con las aeronaves y facilitan el acceso a la plataforma para aviones más pequeños.
Sección Transversal. El techo suavemente arqueado proporciona una marquesina sobre las vías de acceso en un lado del edificio, y abre amplias vistas a la pista en el lado opuesto.
Sección longitudinal. La solución formal simétrica permite al proyecto elevarse suavemente de la extensa planicie donde se localiza el aeropuerto.
La nueva terminal se sumará a la antigua, situada un kilómetro al oeste.
Ambas terminales tienen acceso independiente a la carretera que conecta con Montevideo y con la zona oriental de playas, como la famosa ciudad de veraneo de Punta del Este.

CARRASCO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT NEW TERMINAL
UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY
COMPLETION SCHEDULED FOR EARLY 2009
The new terminal at Carrasco International Airport, which serves Uruguay’s capital city of Montevideo, is the firm’s first airport project and the second of Rafael Viñoly’s two buildings currently rising in his home country. Created to expand capacity and spur commercial growth and tourism in the surrounding region, the terminal is scheduled for completion in early 2009.
The design of the building emphasizes its public zones and amenities, providing these areas with an abundance of open space and natural light. Arriving travelers, for example, pass through a fully glazed mezzanine level that helps orient them to the terminal space before they descend to the baggage claim and other services.
A public, landscaped terrace and a restaurant occupy the second floor, providing sweeping views of the runway and the main concourse.
Independent access roads service departures on the first floor and arrivals on the ground level.
An open atrium adjacent to the street entrance opens the ground floor to the monumental space of the main hall, visually and spatially linking the beginning and ending stages of a traveler’s journey.
Key features:
• curved roof maintains a low profile on landscape
• strategic use of daylighting and views guide travelers through arrival/departure sequence
• design highlights public spaces for both travelers and non-traveling friends and family
“In Uruguay, friends and family still come to greet you at the airport or see you off,” says Rafael Viñoly, ”so this terminal provides great spaces for the people who aren’t traveling as well as those who are. The atrium, the main hall, the terrace, and the passenger concourse make this a dramatic and welcoming place for everyone.”
Carrasco International Airport, officially known as “Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco General Cesareo L. Berisso,” is located 11 miles (18 kilometers) east of downtown Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay. With one million passengers per year, it is one of only two airports in the country that provide year round international connections, and as a result carries great symbolic value as the “front door” for many
visitors.
With this distinction in mind, Puerta del Sur, the airport owner and operator, commissioned Rafael Viñoly Architects PC to expand and modernize the existing facilities with a spacious new passenger terminal to expand capacity and spur commercial growth and tourism in the region.
The firm’s design places prominence on the public zones - including the secure runway-side concourse as well as the fully accessible roadside departure hall and terrace - by providing amenities such as open space, natural light, restaurants, retail, and landscaping, all housed beneath a gently curved roof, 1,000 feet (300 meters) in length.
Arrivals and departures are separated by floor, with arrivals on the ground level, departures on the first floor, and vehicular access roads that service each level independently. A public, landscaped terrace occupies the second floor above the departure level, providing views of the runway and the main public concourse. It also features a restaurant and additional space for other commercial or cultural uses.
After completing check-in and security procedures, departing travelers have access to duty-free shopping and restaurants in the waiting areas. Arriving travelers pass through a mezzanine level, fully glazed to allow terminal and runway views that help orient newcomers to the terminal space, before descending to the baggage claim, customs, immigration, and further duty-free shopping areas.

The departures level is one large volume, in keeping with a long tradition of grand transportation halls. The glazing on all four sides and the thin structural supports allow the roof to float above the building, and a grid of round skylights provides additional natural daylighting.

The new terminal will augment the old one, located one kilometer to the west. Both terminals have independent access to the highway that connects with Montevideo and the eastern beaches, including the famous city and summer resort of Punta del Este.
