China Becomes A World Power of Point

China is a world major curtain wall producer. With the economic growth, numerous Chinese curtain wall enterprises integrate architectural aesthetics, structural mechanics, mechanical technology and glass structure, develop the aesthetical essence of point-supported glass curtain wall, namely transparency, and originally design and construct a series of to-date world-topping point-supported glass curtain walls.
Along with the constantly-emerging new technologies, Chinese designers develop the systematic and comprehensive study on single-layer plane cable net point-supported glass curtain wall on the basis of learning and assimilating the structurally flexible point-supported glass curtain wall, and accordingly create new-type point-supported art glass curtain walls capable of more revealing the aesthetical essence of point-supported glass curtain wall, namely transparency, such as structurally single-direction single-cable point-supported glass curtain wall (hereafter referred as “SD SC point-supported curtain wall” simply), structurally single-direction single-concealed-cable point-supported glass curtain wall and concealed-point point-supported glass curtain wall (hereafter referred as “SD SCC point-supported curtain wall” and “concealed-point curtain wall”). Therein, concealed-cable point-supported glass curtain wall revolutionarily conceals vertical cables in the middle of glass seam, i.e. concealing cables in the middle of vertical glass glue seam by utilizing the thickness of glass pane so that no structural members would be visible either indoors or outdoors and the glass seems to float in air, thereby achieving the goal of visually structure absence. Such conceptually elaborate, technically exquisite and “visually structure-absence” point-supported glass construction meets the expectation for full-transparent structure system and caters for the trend of point-supported glass curtain wall constructions in the new century. It’s just like what Prof. Mick, a Canadian scholar, pointed out, “now, there is a new creative spirit and it is about to rebuild a complete while united world including art, science and technology.” It is such new creative spirit that China’s development of point-supported glass curtain wall depends on, so as to play beautiful caprices of “point-supported glass curtain wall” on the word stage of building curtain walls. In general, China is a world major curtain wall producer, other than a world curtain wall power; however, in the field of point-supported glass curtain wall, China is not only a world major curtain wall producer, but also a world power of point-supported glass curtain wall.
