Waterside (building)

Waterside, located in Harmondsworth, Greater London, serves as the international head office for British Airways and its parent company, International Airlines Group (IAG). This architecturally striking building, completed in 1998, features a unique design with six sections representing the continents served by British Airways, all surrounding a central glazed atrium street. The site, comparable in size to Regent's Park, includes amenities such as a health center, restaurants, and a supermarket. Despite its impressive features and awards for design, Waterside faces potential demolition due to plans for a third runway at nearby Heathrow Airport, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the intersection of architecture, aviation, and environmental concerns.
