Rhein- Main airport

Now that population is increasing, there is a lack of space for new homeowners, causing builders to expand the area in which people live. People are now living closer and closer to airport. Cities use to be a few miles away from an airport. The neighboring cities could not here the planes. Due to the expansion of cities architects have had to find new ways in which to make the noise from planes a little less loud. This photo is a bridge built by the Rhein-Main airport. The noise protector is there to decrease the sound by one to two percent. It only covers one side of the bridge; the side facing the airport. The noise protector has a slight curvature at the top of the hangar helps to reduce the sound more, since only one side is covered. Because of the exhaust coming from the cars, the other side is left open.
