新开放的赫尔辛基机场扩建工程将冒险和浪漫带回了航空旅行。它也改善了从50年代开始分多期建设的机场的功能。2016年，机场运营商Finavia发起了2号航站楼扩建和改造的设计竞赛。竞赛任务包括将出发和到达大厅迁至新楼，以便将2号航站楼现有的出发大厅变成登机口区域。

The newly opened expansion of Helsinki Airport brings adventure and romance back to air travel. It also improves the functionality of the airport, built in multiplephases starting from the 50s. In 2016, the airport operator Finavia launched a design competition for theexpansion and modification of terminal 2.The competition task included relocating the departures and arrivals halls to a new building so that the existing departures hall of terminal 2 could be turned into gate areas.

43,000平方米的出发和到达大楼由两个不同的体量组成；第一个体量由其木质天花板界定，第二个体量由其蓝色界定。除了出发和到达大厅外，第一个体量包含一个多式联运中心，第二个体量包含安全控制、海关和行李提取区域。由于新楼直接与旧楼相连，它遵循了传统的逻辑，将出发和到达的旅客流分开到不同的楼层。

The 43,000 SqM departures and arrivals building comprises two distinct volumes; the first defined by its wooden ceiling, the second by its blue color. In addition to the departures and arrivals halls, the first volume contains a multimodal travel center, and the second the areas for security control, customs and baggage reclaim. As the new building connects directly to the old one, it follows the traditional logic of separating the flows of departing and arriving passengers onto different levels.

多年来，建筑师们通过对航站楼屋顶和天花板的设计，旨在创造飞行和整体轻盈的幻觉。这在赫尔辛基机场也是如此–旧建筑阶段的天花板看起来很轻，而且是构造性的。即使是新的离境大厅的天花板，也在玩着轻盈的概念，但却与极重的重量相结合。钢结构的使用使得无柱的离境大厅和巨大的入口天棚的建造成为可能。这些结构被隐藏在由预制木材单元制成的天花板内。当看到值机区中央的天窗的深凹处时，它的厚度是很明显的。然而，整体形式的可塑性使天花板看起来就像漂浮在空中一样。云杉板的流动形状类似于轮廓线，把它变成了一个倒置的三维地图，把乘客的思想引向跑道上方的天空。

For years, architects have aimed at creating illusions of flying and of overall lightness with their designs for terminal roofs and ceilings. This is true also at Helsinki Airport – the ceilings of the older construction phases are seemingly lightweight and tectonic. Even the ceiling of the new departures hall plays with the concept of lightness but combines it with extreme weight. The use of steel structures has enabled the construction of both the column-free departures hall and the massive entrance canopy. These structures are hidden inside the ceiling made of prefabricated timber units. Its thickness is noticeable when looking at the deep recess of the skylight in the center of the check-in area. The plasticity of the overall form however makes the ceiling seem as if it was floating in the air. The flowing shapes of the spruce boards resembling contour lines turn it into an upside-down version of a three-dimensional map that leads the passengers’ thoughts towards the sky above the runway.

在新的出发大厅和旧的航站楼之间的低层蓝色安全控制体，从更远的地方就可以辨认出来。这种颜色从外部包层延续到建筑内部。当进入离境大厅时，离境的旅客会立即注意到值机柜台后面的蓝色区域。除了提高可识别性外，蓝色在有时紧张的安检情况下也有安抚作用。

The low-rise blue security control volume between the new departures hall and the old terminal is recognizable already from further away. The color continues from the exterior cladding to inside the building. When entering the departures hall, the departing passengers will immediately notice the blue area behind the check-in kiosks. In addition to improving recognizability, the blue color also has a calming effect in the sometimes-stressful security control situation.

在下层，抵达的乘客在通过海关后首先看到的是 “Luoto “自然风光，这是一个自由形式的装置，在一个大的珊瑚藤花盆里有树木、灌木和石头。Luoto “结合了芬兰自然和日本园林艺术的特点。通过登机手续办理区中间的开口，从上层出发层也可以看到它。而当通过开口向上看时，到达的乘客将看到木制的天花板和通过上方天窗看到的蓝天。

On the lower level, the first thing the arriving passengers see after having passed through customs, is the ‘Luoto’ nature diorama, a freeform installation with trees, shrubs and stones in a large cor-ten planter. ‘Luoto’ combines the characteristics of Finnish nature with Japanese garden art. It is visible also from the upper departures level through the opening in the middle of the check-in area.Whereas when looking up through the opening, the arriving passengers will see both the wooden ceiling and the blue sky visible through the skylight above.

该扩建项目是按照英国建筑性能评估体系的优秀标准建造的，是芬兰首批联盟项目之一。它于2021年12月1日向公众开放，并将于2022年夏季全面投入使用。一旦改造工程完成，新的主入口和新的出发和到达大厅将能够为所有乘客提供服务：届时，机场的所有功能都将在一个屋檐下，实际上是在一个航站楼里。

The expansion was built according to the BREEAM Excellent standards as one of the first alliance projects in Finland. It opened to the public on December 1st, 2021 and will be fully functional by summer 2022. Once also the renovation works have been completed, the new main entrance and the new departures and arrivals halls will be able to serve all passengers: the airport will then have all its functions under one roof, practically in one terminal.
