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.”
