UPDATE: IND International Airport

Structure Magazine just published their steel focus issue, which features an article on the new IND airport terminal building. The article was written by the structural engineers and adds to the information I presented in my own post on the IND airport.

"Gateway to the Circle City"

Also, I took some newer photos of the terminal and wanted to post them along with some closeups of the tensile membrane structures. So without further ado here are the terminal and concourse photos:

Terminal A from the South

As mentioned above, I also got some photos of the membrane structures for those of us who love that kind of thing. These were designed and built by Geiger Engineers.

My contribution to the Airport was the PARCS building (where they eat your money) - my firm did the building and foundation structural design, Geiger did the canopy design
