Improve curtain wall quality

Urban space is designed for people, so in addition to meeting the basic functional requirements, the approachable scale of buildings should take people’s feelings as the measuring standard. The behavior and feeling of people in the space are the core of “scale”, and also the “degree” of scale. Do a good job in the refined design of approachable scale, improve the taste of quality, can give people with the best experience. The part such as the custom curtain wall that can be close to contact to the user, canopies, baluster, passage is tasted to study carefully process of choosing material, node, strengthen human nature to design, reflect the quality that gives a design to feel.

The joint structure design of curtain wall is the main work of modern curtain wall design. Designers generally study the strength, air tightness and water tightness of the nodes from a pure technical point of view, and seldom consider the details of joints, lines, sealing plates, pipelines, and the transition of different materials from the appearance, and think this is the work of architects. Most of the time, architects do not pay attention to these contents, which leads to a large gap between the details of many buildings and those of foreign buildings. Fine node structure and process design, give a person with the feeling of fine handicraft, everywhere reflects the fine focus, small start, see the real chapter in the fine kung fu. The commercial curtain wall is not only the curtain wall itself, but also integrates lighting, electromechanical tuyere, indoor sky floor, landscape floor, signage and other contents, which can be called the facade system. If only the content of this profession is considered in the curtain wall design stage, it is easy to lead to the design defects caused by the lack of professional cooperation in the later stage of construction. These contents not only need the attention of developers, but also the architects and curtain wall designers should focus on and actively respond to them.

The curtain wall support in the case is exposed, and the misalignment of plane elevation and lighting effect in the case are all design defects caused by insufficient consideration in the design stage. A design at the same time to achieve safe and reliable performance of the envelope structure, exquisite and easy to perform node structure technology, convenient operation and maintenance management, delicate and beautiful appearance of the performance image, high quality curtain wall is our pursuit, which is the direction of the development of point support curtain wall in China. It is hoped that the curtain wall designers with pursuit and ideals can jump out of the professional limitations, broaden their knowledge, improve their architectural aesthetic ability, and have the empathy to support and understand the upstream and downstream chains, so as to provide more and more excellent curtain wall products for the city and make their own contributions to the development of China’s architectural curtain wall.
