Commercial streets occupy a considerable proportion of the city. The construction and environment of commercial streets are windows of urban civilization, representing the level of material civilization and spiritual civilization, and at the same time, they are also an important part of the scenic environment. Membrane structure construction projects are lightweight, particularly modern in style, and have various expressions and are easy to move. They are widely used in commercial street planning.
The building entrance makes the interface between the urban public space and the building space adjacent to become an integral part of the urban space. It is the first part of people's visual touch.
Therefore, in addition to its function, it should also have a strong iconic character and reflect the personality of the building. It is an important part of the building environment and urban scene. Because the natural curvaceous beauty of the membrane structure construction project is unmatched by other structural types, it has become the method of choice for building entrances and roofs.
Foshan Midea Market Street uses two kinds of membrane materials, ETFE and PTFE. ETFE(Ethylene Tetra Fluoro Ethylene) is a very transparent material that can change the aesthetics and thermal properties of the enclosure system. This will help improve the comfort inside the building, avoid heat absorption, infrared and harmful ultraviolet radiation, while enjoying natural lighting.
The PTFE membrane material is made of ultra-fine glass fiber fabric coated with poly tetra fluoro ethylene resin. This kind of membrane material has good welding performance, excellent anti-ultraviolet, anti-aging performance and flame-retardant performance. In addition, its anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties are the best among all architectural membranes.
Both materials can be recycled and reused when used in building structures. Their low-carbon, energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics make them a direction for the development of green buildings in the future as building envelopes.
