WIND ATTENUATION SCREEN, PEARSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Client: Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA)

On the roof of the parking garage for Terminal 1, strong westerly winds were causing problems with the automatic doors to the elevator lobby, to the extent that the motors were breaking down. Given a limited construction budget of $50,000 to create a wind mitigation structure that would be effective and not completely obscure the view of the doors, we designed a screen that is fun, functional and elegant.
