LOPO TERRACOTTA PROJECT IN INNER MONGOLIA

Site Address: Hohhot, Inner Mongolia

Product: Hollow Structure Terracotta Panels

Item No. F5018789

Color: Dark Brown

The project is located in Chinggis Khan Street, Xincheng District, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia. The project was completed in June 2014. The total area of the LOPO Terracotta panel curtain wall is 14,600m2, and the building has 29 floors above the ground. The project uses LOPO Terracotta T18 thick, brown ceramic plate. The total architectural planning area of the project is 560,700 square meters. It will be divided into three phases of development, including 17-storey and 33-storey high-rise residential buildings, 20-storey apartment garden houses, and commercial office buildings. It will also be equipped with clubs, kindergartens, supermarkets, and other living facilities. The project strives to create a high-quality residential community that is comfortable, beautiful, convenient, and has a rich living space environment, establishes the image of a boutique and famous brand, and drives the development of the new urban area.

Terracotta curtain wall is regarded as a relatively new material in China. The raw material of the terracotta panel is natural clay, and a small amount of other materials are added. LOPO Terracotta panel has relatively high strength, hardness and surface precision formed through multiple processes such as finishing of the raw material, extrusion molding with European extrusion equipment, drying, and high-temperature kiln firing. And in the high temperature is above 1100℃. The terracotta curtain wall gives the building a solemn and strong artistic beauty, organically combining traditional materials with modern architecture. The product has excellent durability, the color is always fresh, and brings lasting vitality to the building curtain wall.

Terracotta is a high technical quality product, which has excellent impact resistance, frost resistance and other characteristics. LOPO Terracotta products also certified with CE, meet the international quality standards, verifying the durability, robustness and safety of the system. The color of the clay is restored through the inclusion of natural clay and the addition of oxides to restore the color of the clay. So we have a color uniform and durable products.

There are a wide range of applications for terracotta panels that can be used either as exterior panels or indoors. Dry-hanging open and semi-open systems are commonly used, and can be used in conjunction with insulation materials. They have good insulation and sound insulation functions. In the design of dry-hanging systems, it is easy to replace single-pieces when damaged. Ceramic wall is still in its infancy in China. Although some ceramic curtain wall projects have been built, but with the development of the curtain wall and people’s understanding of it, the terracotta curtain wall will surely been more widely used in the world with its fine texture, vivid colors, and unique structure and superior performance.

TERRACOTTA FACADE CLADDING PANELS PROJECT—INSTITUTE OF PHYSICS CAS

Located at No. 8, Nansan Street, Zhongguancun, Beijing. The newly-built scientific research building–the institute of physics covers an area of 25,000m2 and a construction area of 42,857m2.

The institute is designed in a rectangular box shape, there is a main entrance in front of the building. The facade of the institute is made of terracotta facade panels & terracotta brick tiles as the decorative materials for exterior wall, among which the grey terracotta claddings are used in the main structure while terracotta tiles are used for the window frames. The whole building with uniform color make the architecture more magnificent.

With good properties such as eco-friendliness and thermal insulation, terracotta rainscreen becomes the best choice for the exterior walls of such institute. A multidisciplinary and comprehensive research institute focusing on basic research in physics and applied basic research. The main research directions are condensed matter physics, including condensed matter physics, optical physics, atomic and molecular physics, plasma physics, soft matter physics, and condensation. State theory and computational physics. The strategic orientation is “to face the world’s scientific and technological frontier, facing the country’s major needs, and facing the main battlefield of the national economy”. The development goal is to “build a world-class first-class material scientific research base.”
