- Unique Properties
- For design, Maritime Silk Road is shown as the main clue from beginning to end. The spanning building form ties up the mountains with the sea in the west and in the east, The open landscape corridor is created for greening the city. The building form which derives from Tang and Song traditions adopts the classic ratio and pattern of the roof and wall in the Tang Dynasty which is solid and stable. The white stone at the bottom of the building and the natural-color cornice set each other off.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Cellular aluminum sheet's lightness, high intensity and high flatness guarantee the flatness of the large aluminum curtain wall. Meanwhile the reflections of the surroundings further strengthens the sense of floating. The cellular stone breaks the area limit of natural stone with a size of 1.2m wide x 2.2m high. It also can be used on the dropping ceiling which ensures the integrity of the entry space and renders a unusual drop-off experience.
