Estudio Lamela and Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), alongside AYESA Ingeniería, will design the expansion project for terminals T4 and T4S at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport. In addition to the terminal expansions, the project includes commercial areas, related equipment and furniture, as well as aircraft parking aprons.
Estudio Lamela will develop this new phase of the Madrid-Barajas Airport alongside British architecture firm RSHP, with whom they previously collaborated on Terminal 4. The terminal became a global architectural landmark, receiving more than 30 awards, including the Stirling Prize from the Royal Institute of British Architects (2006) and the RIBA European Awards (2006).
The project's design is based on four core principles: landscape integration, natural light, spatial clarity, and compositional flexibility. Notably, this initiative joins other ongoing works by Estudio Lamela + AYESA, which center on remodeling terminals T1, T2, and T3, and the design of a processing building located opposite them. These efforts are part of a master plan aimed at increasing the airport's capacity to 80 million passengers, positioning it as an economic engine serving the public.
