Project Overview: Suncasa Square Canopy with Large-Scale Tensile Membrane Structure
Project square canopy Suncasa in Binh Duong is an iconic public project that uses a tensile membrane architectural solution to create a multifunctional space that is both effective in providing protection and a unique architectural highlight. The project is designed to meet the highest requirements for aesthetics, structural safety and durability during long-term operation.
- Investor: Suncasa Urban Area (VSIP Binh Duong)
- Category: Tension membrane roof for central square
- Structure: Multi-peak tensile membrane structure, supported by steel columns and tensile cable system
- Main materials: Specialized PVDF/PTFE stretch film, structural steel, high strength steel cable
- Location: Binh Duong Province, Vietnam
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
As a central item of the urban area, the square canopy is required to simultaneously meet many complex technical criteria:
- Large span capability: It is necessary to cover a large square area to serve community activities, while minimizing the number of supporting columns to maximize usable space.
- Safety and structural strength: The structure must be accurately calculated to withstand complex loads, especially wind loads in open spaces, ensuring absolute safety and long-term use.
- Architectural aesthetics and symbolism: The design must be artistic, creating a landmark for the entire urban area, enhancing the value of the landscape.
- Efficiency and convenience: Canopies need to provide effective shade, control natural light to create a pleasant environment for the users below.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet the above requirements, Flexiiform has implemented a comprehensive technical solution, from structural design, material selection to lighting system integration.
Multi-peak Tensile Membrane Structure System
The chosen technical solution is a multi-peaked tensile structure. This structure uses tall steel columns as the main load-bearing points, from which the tensile membrane panels are pulled up to form high peaks and lowered to low anchor points at ground level or the base of the columns. A system of high-strength steel cables acts as a tension force transmitter and maintains geometric stability for the entire roof surface under different loading conditions.
Choosing High Performance Materials
The cladding material is a specialized architectural tensile membrane (PVDF or PTFE), which is UV resistant, anti-fouling and has high mechanical strength. This material allows natural light to diffuse through, creating a bright space below without causing glare or significantly increasing the temperature. The entire steel structure and cables are surface treated with specialized anti-corrosion paints to ensure longevity in tropical climates. These are the core materials in architectural stretch canvas.
Integrated Art Lighting System
Taking advantage of the translucent properties and curved surface of the tensile membrane, an artistic lighting system was integrated. Light is projected from the columns onto the membrane surface, turning the entire canopy into a giant architectural lantern at night. This solution not only creates an impressive visual effect, but also enhances the safety and vitality of public spaces at night.
Results and Performance Evaluation
Project square canopy After completion, Suncasa has become a highlight of the urban area, excellently meeting technical and aesthetic goals:
- In terms of architecture and identity: The project with its unique design has become an architectural icon, enhancing the value and recognition of the Suncasa urban area.
- About function and convenience: The canopy provides a large, airy covered space, effectively serving community events and activities.
- About safety and durability: The structure is designed and constructed according to the highest safety standards, ensuring stability and durability against environmental impacts.
- About night time effectiveness: The integrated lighting system has been put to maximum effect, turning the square into a lively and safe public space at night.
