Imagining the Future of LaGuardia Airport

This morning the New York Post published renderings of a shiny new LaGuardia Airport by the Manhattan design firm Neoscape for the advocacy group Global Gateway Alliance. The renderings are in response to the Port Authority’s Request for Qualifications to undertake a $2.5 billion redevelopment of the rundown, overcrowded airport. These particular plans are not associated with any of the bidders — they are merely idealizations of what’s possible. The PA is expected to pick an actual firm for redevelopment in the next few weeks; the goal is to complete the entire redesign by 2021.

The Global Gateway Alliance proposal is 1,300,000 square feet, one-third larger than the current central terminal. The modern, swooping design also leaves room for a direct subway connection. Check out one more rendering after the jump.
