Project Overview:
China Science and Technology Training Base for Children and Children (short for the base) is a project approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in May 2013 with an investment of 612 million yuan and an investment of 498 million yuan in content and capacity to build a national key public welfare project under the 12th Five-Year Plan. Project by China Soong Ching Ling Foundation is responsible for the construction and operation and management. The base is located in Haidian District of Beijing. The total land area of the project is 82307.8m2, of which the construction land area is 24254m2, the total construction area is about 80802m2 and the building height is 46.9m. Nine floors on the ground nine, building area of which is 50000m2. Underground two floors, and the construction area is 30308m2.

This project won the China Building Construction Luban Awards in November 2017.

It is the only large-scale public welfare project serving children in China. It is a first-class children’s activity place with internationalization, modernization, landmark and demonstration.

This project composed of three parts: the main building, future theater, international kindergarten composed of three parts. The main building and future theater facade wall decoration is using LOPO Terracotta Panel; the kindergarten facade wall using the terracotta louvers.

The architecture beauty is the elegant and smooth outline. In order to achieve multi-center arc curved surface shape. The project uses 35 different types of curved Terracotta Panel, which combined LOPO developed Mold and on-site technical innovation.

The engineering services is for children. Therefore, the requirement for project’s safety, environmental protection and green construction are extremely high. According to features, engineering construction process fully consideration of functionality and safety. LOPO Terracotta Panel is made of natural clay. Clay is a renewable resource and can be recycled.

The production determines its features of environmental friendly and low energy consumption. The hollow structure of Terracotta Panel and the appropriate insulation system plays a very important role in energy conservation.

How to keep Terracotta Panel cleaning?

Vanke Meixi County is located in the core area of Meixi Lake Area of Changsha, orientation in the new urban center of Changsha Hexi future, rich in landscape resources.

In this project, was used beige terracotta panel, has been installed and used more than 5 years. Owners tend to pay attention on how to clean, how to keep bright as new?

Firstly of all, terracotta panel cladding does not contain metal elements dust and other SiO, do not produce static electricity, will not absorb dust, water rinse wash will keep it clean.

 

On the terracotta panel surface natural texture, there is a certain degree of permeability, if stained on the stains need to be promptly removed to avoid infiltration of panel inside.

1. Pencil, ballpoint pen, impermeable oil can be used to erase the eraser;

2. Slag, rust can be soaked with white vinegar wipe with water;

3. Other colored pollution can be soaked with 84 disinfectant wipe with water.

4. After completed installation of each panel, remove the debris from the site, until the entire project is installed before the clean-up site and temporary facility, use cotton and nylon brush on the board from the top and bottom wipe clean.

The range application of Terracotta Panel Curtain Wall

1.      Exterior Curtain Wall

Terracotta curtain wall is a non-transparent,similar to stone curtain wall. As terracotta panel is a natural environmental protection material, with no radiation, rich color, natural surface texture,classical and simple, noise reduction, and improve the use of the building economy and comfort characteristics, terracotta curtain wall are all used more and more in commercial buildings, office buildings, theaters, venues and residential buildings etc.

Terracotta panel decorative effect is diversity. Terracotta and metal panel curtain wall, relying on the billet to complete a variety of shape processing, so its external wall decoration is not limited to the overall curtain wall, as well as grille, terracotta sticks, terracotta louvers and so on.

2.      Composite building curtain wall

Composite curtain wall is also called double curtain wall, which consists of outer (glass curtain wall), inner (terracottacurtain wall), air circulation decoration composition. To achieve energy saving, environmental protection design. At the mean while, the perspective of the glass curtain wall and terracotta decorative effect of both the perfect expression.

 3.      Indoor curtain wall

As terracotta panel with natural environmental protection, no radiation, rich colors, natural texture, noise reduction, easy construction and other characteristics, terracotta can also be used in indoor decoration curtain wall. Such as construction venues, hotels,theaters, exhibition halls, public places, indoor office environment decoration etc.

Terracotta plates with unique artistic atmosphere, natural color, environmental protection materials and energy-saving,anti-noise advantages, in the field of interior decoration and other applications, reflecting the perfect integration of decorative materials and nature, so that people’s work, life and other activities in a comfortable,harmonious environment.

Lopo Developed A New Production Method For Terracotta Louvers To Be Covered On A Arc Wall Surface

We all know that terracotta panel can be used in arc structure building. But the traditional installation was affected by the radius of the arc. Because people use the flat surface panels to cover on the arc wall. When the radius is more than 3 meter, Installation direction can be either vertical or horizontal. Adjust the angle of facade terracotta panel connection can be achieve arc. By adjusting the joint angle between two panels, it is easy to achieve the circular-arc-shape. The ceramic panels are using vertical fixing method when the radius of the building arc is less than 3 meters.

However, this installation method always can not meet designer’s ideal concept. LOPO technician team focus on saving this problem for a long time. Since the production lines upgraded, they developed a new method for arc wall construction.

You can see below item picture, by using several pieces, it is much easier to cover on the round building.
