Production Technology
Optimization of aluminum alloy sections for corner cornices: pre-fabricated in the factory, installed on site, and the section seams remain on the straight section. It solves the problem that the quality of the joints in the construction of the corner aluminum alloy is difficult to guarantee. Further application of stone paint: use the double-wall method to simulate the façade advance and retreat of the stone curtain wall; use the L-row metal groove to combine the paint to ensure the smoothness of the interface between the paint and the stone.
Design Challenge
Design sustainability: Tang-style architecture, sustainability of traditional culture (revival). The garden-style layout reproduces nature and is sustainable to nature. The use of stone paint instead of natural stone is sustainable for cost and natural resources.
