Ezeiza International Airport Beunos Aires, Argentina

The striking combination of glass and metal successfully achieved provides wonderful luminosity and excellent thermal properties. The key factor in achieving this was the use of Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ EverGreen, which helped to increase the natural light into the building and at the same time reduced the intensity of solar heat radiation into the building.

Insulating glass units with good acoustic properties were also necessary to attenuate the ambient noise. The use of Pilkington Optilam™ Phon with a special polyvinyl butyrl (PVB) 0.76 interlayer, with noise reduction elements achieved this.

The building’s architectural image is to a large extent defined by the attractive green tint of its façades, glazed with high performance insulating glass units of Pilkington Eclipse Advantage™ EverGreen glass and Pilkington Energy Advantage™.

The building design aims to improve movements and effortlessly emphasise the direction passengers are required to follow. Architectural ideas have focused on the continuous activity in the terminal, and therefore provide a pleasant environment for employees and travellers.
