Please describe the project specifications

In the skyline of Xujiahui, Shanghai, where prosperity meets dreams, a dazzling canopy emerges. It’s not just a stunning visual; it’s the perfect fusion of technology and aesthetics. The ETFE 'Sky Seam' canopy lends the Shanghai Xujiahui Center (ITC) a dreamlike, futuristic time track.
The white ETFE membrane canopy unfolds like floating feathers, blending natural light with indoor spaces for a dreamy ambiance. Its self-cleaning properties repel dust, reducing maintenance costs while staying pristine. At night, dynamic lighting transforms it into a radiant urban landmark, harmonizing with Xujiahui’s neon skyline.
