In the past 20 years, China, as a pioneering design practice place for international architects, has completed a series of difficult curtain wall projects. Landmark projects such as the CCTV headquarters in Beijing designed by OMA/BOS, HENDERSON in Hong Kong designed by ZHA, the DJI headquarters in Shenzhen designed by FOSTER, and the Shanghai Center designed by GENSLER, all demonstrate the advancement of China's overall curtain wall equipment manufacturing.

Internationally, outstanding Chinese curtain wall construction companies have also completed landmark buildings around the world. The 828M tall Khalifa Tower in Dubai constructed by Far East Curtain Wall, London LEADEN HALL constructed by Yuanda Curtain Wall, Tokyo COCOON, and Abu Dhabi International Airport constructed by Jianghe Curtain Wall initially represent the international competitiveness of China's curtain walls.

The 31st China Windoor Facade Expo will be held in Guangzhou from March 11 to 13. The conference focuses on planning the ADV FACADE (advancing facade) China Pioneer Curtain Wall Joint Exhibition (Booth Number: 3B28), and specially invites domestic high-quality curtain wall companies to jointly display various Pioneer project curtain wall samples, and at the same time invite leading international architectural firms to share their projects under construction around the world, establishing a direct dialogue with China's advanced curtain wall industry chain.

Jeddah Tower

Exhibitor: Jangho Group Company Limited

Jeddah Tower, also known as Kingdom Tower, is located on the northern seaside of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is the core building of the Jeddah Economic City project. The Jeddah Tower has a staggering height of 1,007 meters and a total of 252 floors. It was designed by AS+GG. The building is a smooth glass curtain wall structure with a triangular base and fin-like indentations on the sides that taper to a spire, with the tapered structure creating an aerodynamic shape that effectively reduces wind loads.

The curtain wall design of Jeddah Tower faces many challenges, such as air tightness and water tightness under high wind pressure, the deformation absorption capacity of the unit during earthquakes, and the structural safety of enduring extreme high temperatures and super high-rise buildings. Relying on its strong technical strength and rich experience in super high-rise buildings, Jangho successfully won the bid for the curtain wall design project of Jeddah Tower. It has become the first company in the world to undertake curtain wall design projects for high-rise buildings over 1,000 meters, and has successfully overcome many technical problems.

Shenzhen Bay Culture Park

Shenzhen Creative Design Museum

Exhibitor: Shenzhen Dadi facade technology

Shenzhen Bay Culture Park (Shenzhen Creative Design Museum and Shenzhen Science and Technology Life Museum) forms a "group of stones" of different shapes in the central area of Houhai, designed by the famous architect Ma Yansong. Among them, the Shenzhen Creative Design Museum is one of the "Top Ten Cultural Facilities in the New Era" in Shenzhen. Its functions are positioned as a creativity and design exhibition center, an art and science exchange center, and a future and life experience center.

The project has a total of 700,000 stone fixing points, 350,000 stone strips, and 40,000 aluminum alloy strips. Hyperbolic stone strips with widths of 60mm, 80mm, and 100mm and lengths of 400mm, 600mm, 800mm, and 1000mm are randomly combined into a smooth curved surface. The installation accuracy of each stone strip is required to have a deviation of no more than 0.5mm. The earth curtain wall abandons the conventional thinking of curtain wall design, and adopts the design concept of mathematical calculus to cut the building surface into different thin curved surfaces, forming a one-to-one correspondence between the building skin and the aluminum alloy supporting keel, solving the difficulties in actual implementation during construction.

Shenzhen oppo international headquarters building

Oga Building

Exhibitor: CECEC-Shanghai Lijin Aluminum Engineering Co., Ltd.

Oga Building is located in the "Super Headquarters Base" of Shenzhen Bay. It is a powerful project of CECEC once again teamed up with Zaha Hadid Architects after Murray Road (The Henderson) in Central, Hong Kong.
