Please describe the project specifications

The eye of the canal
The eye of the canal is membrane structure of lighting curtain wall at the main entrance of Beijing GRAND CANAL PLACE shopping center of SINO-Ocean Group.
Beijing GRAND CANAL PLACE shopping center is located at the North starting point of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal in Tongzhou District, Beijing. The "eye" shaped design in front of the main entrance of the shopping center is called the "eye of the canal". The project is designed in the shape of sail, which is integrated into the canal complex, symbolizing "sailing and plain sailing".

The project adopts irregular multi-layer steel structure latticed shell to build the "eye" outline, and the main building function is membrane structure of lighting curtain wall. Its length is about 50m and width is about 20m. It is arranged in an approximate rhombic grid, dividing the whole structure into 229 independent lighting units.

Each lighting unit is of double-layer film structure, coated with transparent ETFE film(made in Japan, AGC fluon 250 μm thick film material.) and lined with silver PTFE reflective film(made in China, Keli 1605 ).

The total area of ETFE membrane is about 500 ㎡, and the total area of PTFE membrane is about 800 ㎡. The interior of each unit is of detachable design to meet the needs of light maintenance and lamp replacement.

Through the comprehensive design of membrane materials and lighting, the project makes the day scene and night scene unique. The eye-catching shape and lighting effect make it a commercial landmark.
