Malpensa Airport Hotel

Alitalia is among the first European airlines to offer a free App for iPad

The great novelty of the App Alitalia for iPad is the "Book" section that allows to purchase tickets for the flights of the company through the Apple tablet. Just choose the airports of departure and arrival on a map, produced in collaboration with Trip Advisor, and then provide passenger data (name, surname, number of frequent flyer card). Once accepted the fare rules of the ticket, it's possible pay by credit card. The collaboration between Alitalia and Trip Advisor allowed the realization for iPad of the innovative section "My trip" where users can read all information provided by Trip Advisor on the destinations served by the carrier. In this section it's possible to read reviews and see photos of the best hotels, restaurants and the most famous or most popular attractions for each of the destinations of company's network. Users can also create and update personal agenda of destinations and attractions of interest or write comments about the store and places visited. The other sections of "Alitalia HD" for iPad let you check the status of a flight, consult and edit your profile MilleMiglia to verify in real time the status of a misunderstanding practice of a luggage and to reserve park or other services (car cleaning, car washing) at the airports of Rome-Fiumicino, Milan-Linate, Milan-Malpensa, Bergamo, Turin and Verona.

The Sheraton Milan Malpensa Airport Hotel & Conference Centre by ...

Partly because Milan is Italy’s design capital, and partly because we were interested in investigating the technical and architectural properties of a skin or membrane to be perceived dynamically as façade not only on its four sides but also the roof- visible from the access road to the airport complex. The hotel has 436 rooms, a conference centre, a spa accessible directly from the airport.

Membrane We were looking for a seamless shell to fold around the functional volumes of the buildings. After researching and detailing a number of alternatives we finally opted for pultruded fibreglass panels. Pultrusion is a manufacturing process combining extrusion and pulling fibreglass through a die that can provide panels up to 1400mm wide and almost infinite lengths- we needed lengths of up to 25 meters. The material has a series of qualities highly suitable for building: it is light weight, elastic, very stable in extreme temperatures (-20°C to +50°C), fireproof and waterproof. This material is more often used for industrial products and so an enormous experience of precision detailing to tight tolerances has been accumulated which came in very useful in the detail design of the membrane.

The shell is curved around a subframe of pultruded structural profiles and steel arches, wrapping the entire length of each bay in a smooth, continuous skin. The almost flat roof is treated as a façade to be seen from the airport, with openings onto terraces, light-wells or interior courts. The plant extracts and ventilation “breath” through vents twisted out of the roof membrane.

Guest Room Blocks On the open (west) side these blocks of rooms articulate the façade in an irregular sequence of solid and void. The solids in turn are articulated by a series of thick sculptural PVC blackout curtains which give both depth and dynamic to the overall elevation. Though normally considered an item of interior design, the black-out curtains were seen as an integral part of the façade from an early stage. The regularity on the mullion and transom grid is syncopated by the irregularity of the curtains seen through the extra-clear glass.

Dynamic Between each block of rooms the emergency staircases, also seen from the airport side through the transparent corridor links, will be clad in a tensile structure (to be built in the coming months). Stretching over the staircase and between the blocks, this essential component completing the design of the western façade with its sculptural organic form, bonds the parts together and gives a tension to the overall composition.
