架构师提供的文本描述。哥本哈根机场一直被选为世界上最好的机场之一，也是斯堪的纳维亚的主要枢纽。作为维护这一位置的客户目标的一部分，终端连接器被要求具有标志性的体系结构存在，同时仍然与现有的终端建筑相关联。进一步的客户要求包括，300米长的建筑物应作为至少13米高的噪音偏转器，并为无柱公共汽车停放区提供悬臂屋顶。

Text description provided by the architects. Copenhagen Airport is continuously voted one of the best airports in the world and is a major hub in Scandinavia. As part of the Client goal to maintain this position the Terminal Connector was required to have iconic architectural presence while still being contextual with the existing terminal buildings. Further client requirements included, that the 300 meter long building was to function as a noise deflector at least 13 m high, and also provide a cantilevered roof for column free bus parking area.

终端连接器代表了非常规设计挑战的非常规解决方案。这是一个很好的例子，展示了一个经过深思熟虑的架构解决方案如何能够将政府法规、技术增强和客户需求结合起来，并通过一个富有表现力的举措在各个方面实际改进一个设施。在结构上，建筑物也是不寻常的，因为超过50%的横截面是悬臂的。弯曲的钢结构形成了独特的尖拱，由此产生了许多公共昵称，如“鲸鱼”或“大教堂”。

The Terminal Connector represents an unconventional solution to an unconventional design challenge. It is a prime example showing how a well thought out architectural solution can combine government regulations, technical enhancements and client requirements and actually improve a facility in all aspects with one expressive move. Also structurally the building is unusual, as more than 50% of the cross section is cantilevered. The curved steel construction forms distinct pointed arches, which has resulted in many public nicknames such as the “Whale” or the “Cathedral”.

当旅行者通过连接器时，日光是对体验的积极贡献。随着自然光和天气的变化，光线通过精心放置的窗户和天窗反射出裸露的结构，增加了额外的维度，以及清晰的空气侧感和陆地边感。

Daylight is an active contributor to the experience as the traveller moves through the connector. As the natural light and the weather changes, light is reflected off the exposed structure through carefully placed windows and skylights adding an extra dimension as well as a clear sense of »Airside« and »Landside«.
