Project overview: Landscape canopy construction at BSC complex
Project landscape canopy at the BSC Complex is a large-scale tensile membrane architectural work, designed as a sculpture to create an aesthetic highlight for the outdoor space. The work not only meets the requirements of shielding but also solves complex technical problems of shaping, structure and safety in a public environment with a lot of people passing by.
- Investor: Berli Jucker Public Company Limited (BJC) – BSC Building
- Category: Architectural canopies for squares and landscape spaces
- Structure: Multi-peak, free-form tensile membrane
- Main materials: PVDF membrane, steel structure, load-bearing cable system
- Location: Bangkok, Thailand (Assumption)
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented with the goal of creating a covered outdoor space, both a place to rest and relax, and an architectural symbol that enhances the brand value of the building. The main technical requirements include:
- Sculptural architecture: The design must have a unique form, be highly artistic, and act as a landmark for the entire area.
- Large span structure: A large area needs to be covered with a minimum number of supporting columns to maintain an open, airy and flexible space.
- Ensuring public safety: The design must incorporate maximum safety solutions for users, including structural safety, crash safety and safety against external factors.
- Optimize space comfort: It is necessary to provide effective shade, reduce noise and maintain a pleasant microclimate under the roof.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet these requirements, Flexiiform developed a comprehensive engineering solution, focusing on complex geometric designs, high-performance materials and specialized safety details.
Freeform Multi-vertical Tensile Membrane Structure Design
The technical solution is a free-form multi-peaked tensile membrane structure. The design consists of multiple asymmetrically arranged high and low points, creating a complex undulating roof surface, simulating natural elements such as water waves or seashells. The shaping is performed using specialized Form-Finding analysis software to ensure structural stability and precise realization of the aesthetic intent.
Technical Material Selection: PVDF Stretch Film
The tensile membrane material is a high-grade PVDF, which has high tensile strength, long service life and UV resistance. The translucent properties of the material allow natural light to diffuse through, creating a bright and pleasant space. The PVDF coating surface also helps prevent dirt from sticking, minimizing maintenance costs. This material is the foundation of the constructions architectural stretch canvas modern.
Integrated Security Solutions
User safety is a key design element. The elastic surface of the tensile membrane helps bounce off falling objects, increasing safety compared to hard materials such as glass. In addition, the column footings and cable anchor points are carefully designed, incorporating soft material (rubber) covering solutions to ensure collision safety, especially in areas with children.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project landscape canopy Upon completion, BSC has become an iconic architectural work, significantly enhancing the quality of outdoor spaces:
- In terms of architecture and aesthetics: The project with its unique sculptural design has created a strong visual highlight, enhancing the value and modernity of the entire complex.
- About function and convenience: Provides a large, airy covered space, creating high quality community interaction and rest areas.
- About safety: Integrated safety solutions create a friendly and safe environment for all users, including children.
- About acoustic performance: The surface of the membrane has the ability to absorb part of the low frequency sound, helping to reduce ambient noise and create a quieter space.
