The beauty of architectural hollowing-out art

Due to the development of materials and the pursuit of the architects, perforated panels are favored by the architects for their ability to form a translucent interface between the urban street space and the interior of the building without much impact on the use of the interior of the building, while unifying the facade effect. For perforated panels, the perforation rate is an important factor affecting the overall perspective of the building skin, so the problem comes, because the pursuit of excessive perforation rate, for the flatness of the building skin, is a serious challenge. Large plate metal plates with a perforation rate of more than 35 percent are doomed to deform without reinforcement, let alone more than 50 percent, which would be a breaking point. The emergence of UHPC (ultra-high performance concrete) is undoubtedly a blessing for architects. UHPC's ultra-high physical performance makes the building's high perforation rate a reality.

The most concise glass curtain wall of the cafe is combined with the hollow UHPC enclosure to make the best use of natural light and interweave light and shadow. The light passing through the enclosure falls on the glass curtain wall, leaving the shadow of time and bringing a vivid element to the building. Smooth and clean glass curtain wall and natural and simple UHPC enclosure, the thick cement texture brings the fragile glass a sense of security in the heart. The color of enclosures is similar to the color of stone on the surrounding ground. Different texture makes the whole not monotonous.
The entire UHPC enclosure is more than 70 meters long, without any support blocking in the middle, extending as a whole, which is the effect pursued by the designer. UHPC enclosure with a height of 3.8m and a thickness of 100mm is fixed only by the connection between the bottom and the structural beam.
