The construction of a new rail link to Edinburgh Airport provided the stimulus for Parr Architects to consider the addition of a walkway canopy.
The link was intended to promote the use of public transport. Therefore, a covered walkway between the airport terminal and the railway station was a necessary part of the design.
The scheme comprises two PVC glazed walkways between the airport terminal and the railway station, plus a kiosk canopy.
The structures consist of an 8 bay L shaped canopy, which is adjacent to the car park entrance a 5 bay straight canopy and a stand alone kiosk. Each canopy comprises a steel structure of vertical columns, horizontal purlins and rolled arches, the latter separating each bay.
The canopies have glazed sides, which are fixed between the columns and PVC fabric roof panels, which are restrained at the arches within an aluminium extrusion and at their sides by a catenary cable.
