Infrastructure
The control tower at Copenhagen Airport was designed to convey a significant expression of high quality. The project comprises three main elements: the flat base building, the 21-storey tower and, at the very top, CAB – ‘the huge eye’, where flight control takes place.
The Control Tower was designed on the basis of some very clear functional criteria. On the one hand, the Control Tower is a closed, secured workplace. On the other hand, it is an outward-looking icon that makes Copenhagen Airport visible to the outside world. The tower can be seen from miles away: a distinguished workplace for the staff, who spend both day and night in it.
