Project overview: Installation of interior canvas system at E-Walk Shopping Center
Project interior stretch canvas at the E-Walk Shopping Center is a large-scale architectural decoration solution, deployed in the central atrium space. The project uses a series of suspended sculptural membrane structures, whose main function is to create aesthetic highlights, process space and improve acoustic quality for a large public area.
- Investor: Trung tâm Thương mại E-Walk
- Category: Artistic ceiling system with stretch membrane
- Structure: Free-form tensile membrane modules, suspended by cable systems
- Main materials: Interior grade PVC/PES stretch film (fire retardant), light steel structure
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
The project was implemented to solve aesthetic and functional problems for the large atrium space of the shopping center. The main technical requirements include:
- Handling Empty Space: The high-rise multi-level skylight space creates an empty space. The requirement is to have an architectural solution to fill and animate this space, creating a better spatial experience for customers.
- Create Interior Architecture Highlights: The project must be a unique work of art, an iconic highlight, helping to enhance the value and luxury of the shopping center.
- Improved Acoustic Performance: Large spaces with many hard surfaces (glass, stone) are often reverberant and noisy. A solution that can absorb and reduce echoes is needed to create a more pleasant shopping environment.
- Fire and Structural Safety: As a suspended item in a public space, the materials must meet strict fire resistance standards and the suspension system must be calculated to ensure absolute safety.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, a comprehensive solution using sculpted stretch fabric modules was designed and constructed.
Freeform Sculpture Design
The technical solution is a series of sculptural, free-form tensile membrane panels. Each panel is shaped by a curved steel frame and is tensioned to create soft, curved surfaces. The modules are arranged at different heights and angles, creating a dynamic and deep architectural whole that effectively fills the atrium space.
Specialized Interior Stretch Film Materials
Vật liệu được lựa chọn là màng căng PVC/PES cấp độ nội thất. Loại vật liệu này có các đặc tính kỹ thuật phù hợp: trọng lượng siêu nhẹ, đạt các tiêu chuẩn chống cháy cho không gian công cộng, và có bề mặt lý tưởng để khuếch tán ánh sáng nhân tạo, tạo ra một không gian nội thất mềm mại, không bị chói. Khả năng hấp thụ âm thanh của màng cũng góp phần cải thiện đáng kể chất lượng âm học của không gian sảnh.
Steel Cable Suspension System
All the sculpture modules are suspended from the main roof structure of the building by a system of stainless steel cables. The suspension system is carefully calculated to ensure absolute safety, and is designed to be slim to minimize the visual impact, creating the feeling that the membranes are “floating” in space. This is a subtle application of architectural stretch canvas in the interior field.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project interior stretch canvas tại TTTM E-Walk đã biến đổi hoàn toàn không gian sảnh trung tâm, mang lại nhiều hiệu quả:
- Aesthetically: Create a unique and luxurious interior architectural highlight, significantly enhancing the value and attractiveness of the shopping center.
- On space efficiency: Successfully handled the large skylight space, creating a more profound and vivid space, improving the customer experience.
- About acoustic performance: The stretch ceiling system has contributed to reducing echo and noise in the lobby, creating a more pleasant shopping and socializing environment.
- About safety: The project fully meets safety standards for fireproof materials and suspended structures in public spaces.
