Located between the existing 1992 Olympic airport (T2) and the Mediterranean sea, the T1 is Barcelona´s new terminal, with a capacity for thirty million passengers a year. T1 is conceived as one dynamic space under a huge vibrant roof; one space with two main areas, the processor and the piers. The main hall processor has a wing-like roof with curvilinear skylights, the central pier is like an aircraft seven hundred metres long, with two side piers. The aerodynamic language, all views opening directly to the airport apron and the interior courtyards, the functional flexibility and the spatial clarity around a strictly symmetrical composition, are the main features of the new hub airport archetype.

As an international hub for Europe and the world, the design of the new terminal combines the multicultural character of an airport with the warmth and brightness of Mediterranean architecture. The high level of transparency of the large glass fronts fills all the public spaces with natural daylight, and travellers have an unimpeded panoramic view of the run- ways, the landscape and the sea.

In a unique way, the building combines maximum functionality and unique architecture in harmony with the natural environment.

The high-quality GROHE Contromix selfclosing mixer guarantees maximum levels of hygiene in the sanitary facilities of the airport and combines durability in long-term use with efficiency in the conservation of the water.
