Sound Barrier for Amsterdam Schiphol Airport – Design Contest
www.innovatieveoplossing.nl
Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is organising an international contest for the design of a sound barrier, to be built parallel to Runway 18R-36L (Polderbaan). The aim of this project is to achieve a reduction in ground noise by at least 7 decibels. The barrier must present an innovative solution for the complex problem of ground noise in Hoofddorp-Noord produced by aircraft taking off from Runway 18R-36L.
In preparation of this design contest Amsterdam Airport Schiphol had several designs made and tested. We now challenge design agencies, businesses, universities and individuals across the world to beat these designs. We challenge you to use your creativity, your imagination and your ability to think beyond the specified framework to create a revolutionary concept that is unique in terms of appearance, function and design.
In January 2009, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will award a sum of € 750,000 to the owner of the winning design. The total prize fund for the competition amounts to € 1,250,000.
