New building sunshade materials show their magic power

The large scale and special nature of the glass curtain wall building have higher requirements for energy saving and shading. Transparent glass plus shading system is an effective way to solve energy saving and effective use of light source. The preservation of historical documents requires extremely high environmental requirements. The lighting and shading of Shanghai Pudong Document Center have completely realized the free control of artificial intelligence.

A new generation of architects using eco-technology as a means are actively exploring new and more efficient ways of shading. Corbusier's rough shading grid made of concrete obviously cannot meet today's requirements. Therefore, the sunshade of new European buildings is no longer the kind of crude concrete slab in our impression, but fully embodies the use of new materials and high technology, and fully excavates multi-functional and adjustable shading components. The moving sun-shading "fan" in the central glass dome of the German Reichstag fully demonstrated the delicacy and sophistication of modern technology, and the Center for Arab World Studies moved the camera aperture directly to the building window. Even for traditional materials such as wood and fabric, designers are also committed to seeking a considerable degree of artistic impact through new processes and shapes.

New building shading materials and technology

Materials that can be used as sunshade components are quite abundant, and different materials have their own physical properties, including mechanical properties and thermal properties. Traditional wood and concrete are still used today, but the processing technology is more sophisticated and modern. At the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris, heavy wooden sun visors are arranged behind the entire glass curtain wall, which is turned over to change the lighting and shading effect. Due to its flexible feature, the fabric can be processed into small and unique sunshade components. The buildings designed by Herzog & De Meuron in Munich use guide rails to control and shape the sunshade of the cloth curtain, while the flexible tensioned membrane is used under the giant door of Fonse.

Today's most popular sunshade component materials when the number of metal, steel grid shading at the same time has a high structural strength, can meet the needs of personnel walking and ventilation up and down, widely used in ventilated double glass curtain wall. Lightweight aluminum can be processed into outdoor shading grille, shading roller blinds and indoor blinds. In terms of production technology, the production of metal sunshade components widely used today does not need to rely on manual production as in the past. The accuracy of computer-controlled production makes each component look exquisite, while mass production makes large-scale applications possible. The construction of advanced technology control makes it possible to transfer the tenon riveting of the thread into the buckle, so the "high technology" ensures the accuracy and precision of the metal shading components. The glass sun visor made of high-performance heat insulation and heat reflection glass, as well as the sun visor combined with photoelectric light-heat conversion, makes the sun shading material and technology by going up one storey higher. The roof of Freiburg Wobang Ecological Village and the side of the atrium of Freiburg Solar Cell Factory are all covered with solar panels, which can not only receive sunlight into electricity, but also shade the sun. The rotating villa in Freiburg also combines photoelectric and photothermal conversion to be used.

Automatic control of shading components

For sunshade components, simple manual adjustment is still effective today, but for some large-area curtain walls and high-rise buildings, it is necessary to rely on automatic adjustment facilities, especially the sunshade components of high-rise buildings in terms of size or adjustment and control., Have put forward higher requirements, so the degree of automation of sunshade adjustment has been improved. Architects strive to apply modern automatic control technology to the design of architectural sunshade, which not only meets the functional needs, but also creates a wonderful light and shadow effect and atmosphere. The automatic control system of sunshade louvers of Frankfurt Commercial Bank and the sunshade "fan" in the dome of the German Reichstag, which can automatically track the sun's trajectory and make corresponding movements, all concentrate the essence of automatic control technology and technology.

The most incredible example of automatic control of shading components is the lighting sunshade window adjusted like an aperture by the Arab World Research Center. It uses the most avant-garde technology and construction techniques. The main facade uses frames and filters to handle the lighting and covers the grille. It can be accurately adjusted according to the sunlight to achieve the purpose of lighting and shading. On each cell, the electronic circuit board for control and adjustment is clearly visible, and its sun visor fully reflects the perfect combination of art and technology. It uses variable light control devices, and its modern form reflects the traditional geometric archetypes of Arab architecture. The modern metal material, slim and exquisite metal nodes, a sharp device using reflection, refraction and backlighting effects to create the miracle of lighting and shading, has become the most infectious symbol of the Arab World Research Center.

Humanized shading components

Today, the moving charm of architectural shading components is inseparable from their light, delicate and delicate details. No matter what kind of materials and structures are combined into shading components, on the one hand, they have perfect shading function, on the other hand, they have pleasing psychological effects, and incorporate many relatively independent and related details. For metal sunshade components, the node design often strives to make the handover fine and the proportion beautiful, fully expressing the delicate and smooth quality of the metal, so that it can give people the enjoyment of beauty both from the whole and from the part, and realize the scale and perspective of people. The humanized sunshade components fully show the material characteristics through the detailed design, show the beauty of materials and technology, and change people's views on the cold and lack of humanized scale of mechanical aesthetics in the "industrial age.

And we look overseas, the shading components of new European buildings are the combination of architectural function, art and technology, the perfect embodiment of modern high technology and exquisite aesthetics, and expand a new world for the architect's design.
