Three options to replace the aging Hollywood Burbank Airport main terminal have been released to the public following an internal selection from the Holder, Pankow, TEC, Joint Venture (HPTJV) team tasked with leading the Elevate BUR process.
Urbanize LA has more on the forthcoming 14-gate, 355,000-square-foot terminal project, which will also include parking, maintenance, and cargo facilities, along with other “ancillary features” located on the northeast portion of the 91-year-old airport.
First, "The Century," is inspired by the region's rich architectural history and calls for a "light-filled hall" defined by the "simple forms" and "clean lines" that are synonymous with Mid-Century design.
The next design, dubbed "The Icon," is supposedly inspired by the "glitz and glamour of Hollywood" and includes a silver screen facade that is subsumed by an overarching canopy structure connected to the parking garage and overlooking a new public plaza area.
The third and final design concept, titled "Paseo," offers an enhanced connection to the outdoors at the "intimacy of human scale" while incorporating a nuanced "combination of light and shadow" throughout the facility.
The proposals will be on view at the city halls for Pasadena, Burbank, and Glendale until a winner is announced at a public hearing on April 17th.
Corgan is working as the lead architects for the project, while CannonDesign will serve as its design sub consultant. More information about the proposed concepts can be found here.

Two of three options look a lot like Dallas Love Field.
