On July 18, guided by the China Metal Structure Association and hosted by the Curtain Wall Design and Advisory Consulting Branch and the Aluminum Door, Window and Curtain Wall Branch, the "Curtain Wall Design and Advisory Consulting Industry Observation Event" was successfully held in Shanghai, attracting nearly 200 industry experts and practitioners. The Shanghai Grand Opera House and the Shanghai Library East Branch projects, constructed by Sanxin Technology, were the key highlights of the observation tour.
In the morning, relevant leaders of Sanxin Technology led a team to receive the observation group and guided them through the curtain wall projects of the Shanghai Grand Opera House and the Shanghai Library East Branch.
**Shanghai Grand Opera House Curtain Wall Project**
The Shanghai Grand Opera House draws inspiration from the "Chinese fan," with white steps spiraling upward 30 meters, resembling a fan handle, reflecting Chinese aesthetic style. The building features elevated transparent glass curtain walls and a planar zigzag "Z" shape to enhance three-dimensionality, offering views of the Expo Cultural Park and the city skyline through the windows.
The project utilizes the nation's longest-span 29.6-meter ultra-long precision steel components (weighing 16 tons each), clad with aluminum-plastic composite honeycomb panels. The largest unit employs an ultra-large ribless full-glass panel (3.2*12 meters, 9.5 tons). It also incorporates a 30-meter ultra-large precast UHPC prestressed cantilever beam and uses imported anodized aluminum panels for the tower, among other unconventional and new materials.
**Shanghai Library East Branch Curtain Wall Project**
The Shanghai Library East Branch resembles a polished piece of jade, "floating" above the urban forest. Its facade showcases the texture and transparency of stone through digital printed frit technology and embossed glass. Sixteen high-resolution Calacatta marble photographs are printed on 1,800 glass panels, with embossing treatment to reduce diffuse reflection. The innovative use of precision steel profiles enhances the project's sleek and upright effect.
The 67° inclined curtain wall design and construction were the most challenging aspects of this project. Sanxin Technology successfully overcame these technical difficulties to complete the project, earning the China Construction Engineering Luban Prize (National High-Quality Engineering Award) and the Shanghai "Magnolia" Award.
The observation group gained an in-depth understanding of Sanxin Technology's curtain wall engineering applications and highly praised its innovative design and construction techniques. This event not only fully demonstrated Sanxin Technology's curtain wall technical prowess but also promoted industry exchange and collaboration, providing valuable experience for the future development of curtain wall engineering.
