Car park covering at Linz Airport
A car park at Linz Airport spanning 3,000 m² was covered using
funnel-shaped membranes joined together thus giving the airport a
highly visible, modern impression with this extraordinary
design.
The inner membrane spares the onlooker any view of the steel
construction. The shadows cast on the membrane, which change
throughout the course of the day indicate the presence of the
supporting structure.
A membrane of PVC-lined polyester tissue with 10 per cent light
transmission and seven per cent solar transmission is used as roof
panelling. This keeps the light within the car park and the
vehicles are prevented from overheating.
ZinkPower Moson hot-dip galvanized the steel frames on which the
funnel membranes were fastened. A total of ca. 145 tonnes of steel
and ca. 3,400 m² of membranes were used.
