I have corrected the article because wrongly say that Richard Rogers was the designer of MAD T4 .
That's not true.
In the mid 90 a number of reputed architects ( Calatrava , Bofill , Lamela ... ) bid for the project of the new Terminal 4 at Madrid Barajas .
Estudio Lamela , www.lamela.com , won the pre-selection process .
Only after passing the pre-selection by AENA , Carlos Lamela went to London to visit Richard Rogers to get them involved also in the project, because of the experience of Rogers in the development of LHR T5 .
The Lamela-Rogers won the final bid of AENA to Calatrava's project , with this one .
http://www.lamela.com/nuevo/verFicha.php?idioma=en&id=378
The leading architet team was Estudio Lamela , with Richard Rogers team as secondary architects.
I have corrected the omission of Lamela in the phrase
"On February 5, 2006, the immense Terminal 4, designed by Richard Rogers, and winner of the 2006 Stirling Prize..."
with
"On February 5, 2006, the immense Terminal 4, designed by Estudio Lamela and Richard Rogers, and winners of the 2006 Stirling Prize, was inaugurated..."
The award was granted to the building and because of that in the Stirling ceremony , representatives of AENA ( airport owner ) and Lamela , along with Richard Rogers himself received the prize.
I have notice also that the british press try to eliminate references to Estudio Lamela on the project .
For completeness here is a complete list of person involved in the design of Madrid Terminal 4:

I have modified the link to the
"The Madrid - Barcelona air route is currently the busiest in the world."
To the ORIGINAL SOURCE of the news , the company OAG that suply real-time air traffic information worldwide , and regularly release studies on air traffic worldwide.
To note that MAD-BCN is the busiest route ( Airport to Airport) in term of frecuencies and passengers .
Not confuse that with city pairs.
Also to note that MAD-BCN is a DOMESTIC route .
If we are talking about terminals floor area Madrid-Barajas is the biggest with 1,000,000 sq. meters of terminals (about 11 million sq.ft.), which is about 1.7 times the size of ATL's current terminal complex (including concourses A, B, C, D and E) and twice the size of HKG's terminal.
Anybody knows of any airport in the world , bigger in term of terminal area ?
EUROCONTROL predicts Madrid Barajas will be 2nd European busiest airport in the following years .Document here: http://www.eurocontrol.int/corporate/gallery/content/public/docs/pdf/pressreleases/2006/060328_Mediumtermforecast_final.pdf
I find the "Aerial View" image very interesting, because illustrates perfectly the new Terminal layout .
Now Barajas has 2 terminals, really :
1) Terminal 4 ( and T-4 Satellite that is accesed and exit by the Terminal 4)
2) The 3 adyacents old terminals : T1-T2-T3
Terminal 4, is for exclusive use of Iberia and all other Oneworld . Apparently a "new" layout for the old terminals will be :
T-1: Spanair and all Star Alliance airlines.
T-3: Air Europe and all Sky Team airlines .
T-2: Non-Schengen flights of all the airlines of T-1, T-2 .
Aena around the day 15, publish the statistic of the previous month , here:
Also past years statistics are complete. It's possible of make cross searches, like per example :
How many passengers flew between Madrid Barajas Airport and all the US airports in 2005 ? Answer: 1.356.513 passengers.
How many passengers flew between Madrid Barajas and the UK (all airports)in 2005 ? Answer: 2.051.116
How many passengers flew between Madrid Barajas and Barcelona in 2005 ? Answer: 4.571.073 ( European busiest sector)
