Soft canopy covering the walkway of Central West Gate Shopping Center
Covering the walkway Central West Gate Shopping Center With a unique curving shape, it leads pedestrians from the MRT station straight into the building's lobby without being affected by hot weather or heavy rain. In addition to performance issues, investors come to us FlexiiForm places another requirement on aesthetic appearance and the ability to incorporate lighting at night.
The roof's location is in front of the large square and directly affects the aesthetics of the entire building, so the use of basic and traditional frame systems is completely inconsistent with the overall appearance of the building. The technical design team from Flexiiform considered and proposed a walkway canopy solution to solve the problems raised.
The column system covering the walkway is designed in an arc shape and interwoven
In order to create rhythm for the architectural form, the walkway canopy is shaped high and low, curving and the column system is curved in an arc and arranged interwoven along the walkway. Corresponding to the column placement points, the LED lighting system is also arranged to illuminate both the stretched canvas surface and the walkway below in two directions.
The special feature of this structure is that the structural frame is shaped in three dimensions and the actual implementation is extremely complicated. The canvas roof cannot use universal connections because the arc diameter changes continuously. Therefore, a special tarpaulin brace system is used in this project to meet the most accurate roof shaping.
The tarpaulin surface covering the walkway is a projection screen
Not only does it attract attention thanks to its unique and impressive form, the stretch canvas architecture applied to the walkway canopy at Central West Gate Shopping Center also smoothly combines lighting effects on the canvas surface at night. The stretched canvas surface now acts as a real projection screen, the lighting system mixes colors and lights on the surface to create a beautiful light show.
With stretch canvas material When stretched flat, the surface of the stretch canvas can be used as a projection film. Combined with the color of the lights, they blend together to help the project stand out at night. This kite can be used for stretch canvas. Reflective materials like FlexiiPVDF or for light-transmitting materials like FlexiiETFE, materials that create shadow effects like MESH types. If the area is large enough, stretch canvas can be used to show advertising videos, movies, etc.
The canopy covering the walkway leading to the main hall uses stretched canvas as the ceiling
In addition to the impressive appearance of the walkway canopy, Central West Gate Shopping Center also uses tensile fabric to apply stretch canvas ceilings. This type of ceiling has good formability, spans large spans, and incorporates custom features to create unique patterns.
As a new type of application, the investor has saved a considerable amount of construction time and costs compared to the conventional plaster ceiling installation plan. Because of the large space and high altitude, the ceiling installation plan will be difficult and time-consuming. Installing a stretch canvas ceiling will not require too much labor or scaffolding. Time and cost are also optimized, helping to minimize inconvenience when constructing and installing walkway roof coverings.
