LOPO TERRACOTTA PROJECT–YIZAIJIN CITY BUSINESS CENTER

Located at the intersection of Junzhu Road and Shangyu Road, Mawei District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province, China. The total construction area of the project is nearly 60,000sqm, and there are 4F shopping malls and 18F headquarters-level enterprise office buildings. Market positioning is: Free Trade Zone· New Fresh Center Mall, which is the center of Mawei. Abundant business format, covering the five themes of “free trade, new fashion, living, shopping”. The project is well-equipped, combine glass and terracotta panel cladding of the façade is noble and generous. The overall color is bright and colorful. Proud to be the capital of Mawei City with a new height of 100 meters building!

This project is developed by Ching Luh Group in Taiwan for the first time across real estate development business, in order to build a complex shopping mall and office, as well as cooperate with Mawei district municipal development vision, and achieve the world trend of low carbon green building. The concept of low carbon, eco-friendly and sustainable development of terracotta panel be adopted by this project into the green building design concept. The goal of green building is saving water and energy, is the first greening building in Mawei district.

The name of the project originated from the historical site of the “Yizaijin city” in Tainan, Taiwan, which was a coastal fortification for Taiwanese to defend against the invasions 150 years ago. With the help of the modern terracotta curtain wall materials, it depicts the classical elements of history by using dark red and light yellow terracotta panels. The exterior wall of the office building adopts combine vertical hanging and horizontally mounted terracotta panel installation system.

LOPO TERRACOTTA PANELS USED IN PREFABRICATED BUILDING

In recent years, prefabricated buildings have attracted high attention from the public, especially under the call of the highest decision-making level of the country to develop prefabricated buildings and promote the industrialization of new buildings, many enterprises are eager to join in it.

In the project of Japan JA Group Kanagawa Building, it is a typical prefabricated building by using special shape of LOPO Terracotta panels.

The concept of prefabricated housing was introduced in Japan in 1968. In 1990, it introduced the production system of medium – and high-rise residential buildings, which adopts component, industrialized production mode, high production efficiency, variable internal structure of residential buildings, and adapts to various needs of residents. In the process of promoting large-scale and industrialized structural adjustment, the housing industry has experienced the continuous evolution and improvement from standardization, diversification, industrialization to intensification and informational.

According to the five-year housing construction plan issued by Japan, every five-year plan has clear policies and measures to promote the development of the housing industry and improve the performance and quality. Strong government intervention and support have played an important role in the development of the housing industry. Adhering to technological innovation, we formulated a series of guidelines and policies for the industrialization of housing construction, and established a unified modular standard, which solved the contradiction between standardization, mass production and housing diversification.

The development status of prefabricated building in Japan:

Wood construction accounts for more than 40%.

The multi – high-rise apartments are mainly reinforced concrete frames (PCA technology).

Factory high level, integrated decoration, thermal insulation doors and Windows, etc.

Legislation to ensure the quality of concrete components.

High seismic intensity, prefabricated concrete shock absorption and isolation technology.

The essence of prefabricated building is not only the innovation of construction technology, but also the development of construction civilization. LOPO Terracotta support the prefabricated building construction technology, and will keep developing the most qualified environmental friendly facade material.
