Airports look alike all over the world. Schiphol has conformed to the patterns of the airport, but its unique design makes it stand out. This title looks into the history of the Netherlands' most famous national airport and its sophisticated appearance. Schiphol has grown in fits and starts as a result of everƯexpanding traffic in freight and passengers. The area around Schiphol is constantly evolving, yet there is great consistency in the visual aspect of this airport, which can rightly be called a 'megaƯstructure'. This is not merely due to the efforts of its designers, who have strived to achieve a spectacular simplicity. Other factors, such as its location in a polder and the local planning culture, have also played a role. In this book an analysis of its metamorphoses over the past century demonstrates Schiphol's unique character and its function as a model for other airports.

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol bestaat dit jaar 100 jaar. Een mijlpaal! Deze essaybundel blikt echter niet terug, maar kijkt juist vooruit: hoe ziet onze nationale luchthaven er in 2116 uit? Het maatschappelijke debat rondom Schiphol wordt gekenmerkt door de continue spanning tussen hinder en economische groei. In dit boek geven gerenommeerde wetenschappers, opiniemakers, (landschaps)architecten, fotografen, ontwerpers, stedenbouwers en planologen hun visie op de toekomst van onze nationale luchthaven. Door toekomstperspectieven van verschillende vakgebieden te introduceren, levert het boek een positieve bijdrage aan het maatschappelijke debat. Een debat geschoeid op mogelijkheden en uitdagingen in plaats van beperkingen en bedreigingen: input voor de komende 100 jaar Schiphol, input voor een adaptieve luchthaven.

On October 4, 1992, an El Al freight aircraft crashed into an apartment complex near Amsterdam after taking off from Schiphol airport. This disaster generated sufficient public arousal that the Netherlands government deemed it necessary to make a careful reexamination of the external risks of the airport prior to proceeding with expansion plans. RAND's European American Center was asked to do this study. A six-month survey and analysis of the safety issues performed by RAND using a multidisciplinary team of risk experts, aviation consultants, statisticians, and policy analysts. Both quantitative risk estimates and public opinions of airport risks and benefits played importantly in the analysis. Recommendations included safety management changes, safety incident tracking and better public communication. Two reports, "Airport Growth and Safety: A Study of the External Risks of Schiphol Airport and Possible Safety Enhancement Measures," and "Airport Growth and Safety, Executive Summary of the Schiphol Project," were completed under the project.

The new Schiphol opened its doors in 1967. Everything had been thought out, from the runway system to the details of its interior and its now world-famous signage and lettering. The designers had carefully studied the latest developments in aviation and combined them uncompromisingly. They turned Schiphol into a textbook example of a modern airport. Schiphol is a well-oiled machine that flawlessly channels immense flows of people, planes and packages. Every effort is made to put travellers at ease and to provide them with an overview despite the hustle and bustle.00This book describes and represents how a large team of top designers once gave shape to this new Schiphol. Based on the cultural-historical research of SteenhuisMeurs, supplemented with a wealth of historical photographs, this is an intriguing introduction to the ideas behind Schiphol?s design ? ideas that determine the atmosphere and quality of this airport to this day.

Nous nous déplaçons souvent. Ces déplacements constituent une expérience importante de notre existence. Que nous soyons migrant, voyageur ultra-premium ou navetteur, percevons nous combien nos expériences de déplacement sont hétérogènes ? Savons-nous pourquoi et comment elles sont produites et organisées ? Cet ouvrage présente pour la première fois en France les travaux du théoricien majeur de la mobilité : Tim Cresswell. Ses thèses sont confrontées à la connaissance intime du fonctionnement d'Eurostar de Mikaël Lemarchand et éclairées par le regard humaniste de la photographe Géraldine Lay. À partir de l'exemple de deux des plus grands carrefours de la mobilité en Europe, l'aéroport de Schipol à Amsterdam et la garde du Nord à Paris, les auteurs révèlent comment l'idéal européen de la libre circulation, l'espace Schengen et les politiques commerciales des opérateurs de transport fabriquent des expériences contrastées du mouvement qui façonnent nos identités. Nos mobilités sont bien plus que le simple déplacement d'un point A à un point B : elles engagent des questions politiques et sociales centrales pour le partage d'un monde commun
