ETFE Tension Membrane Structure Roofing for Chongqing East Station

On this vibrant land of Chongqing, a brand-new transportation hub—Chongqing East Railway Station--is capturing widespread attention with its distinctive architectural charm and outstanding functionality. Among its many features, the ETFE membrane roof has become a standout highlight, adding a unique touch of color to this modern high-speed railway station.

The roof of Chongqing East Railway Station features rhythmically arranged teardrop-shaped skylights, which resemble lively musical notes leaping along the building's skyline. The design draws inspiration from Chongqing’s unique landscape culture, symbolizing "Mountains and Rivers of Bayu." It ingeniously integrates natural elements into the tensile architecture, highlighting the resilient spirit of Chongqing, a city built on moun tains.

ETFE membrane structure: From architectural design, it can be inferred that the ETFE membrane used has the characteristics of being lightweight and strong, which can reduce the burden on the building structure; at the same time, it has good light transmittance, allowing for sufficient natural lighting inside the building. It also possesses advantages such as corrosion resistance and strong self-cleaning properties, which are beneficial for the long-term maintenance and preservation of the building's aesthetics.

As the first high-speed train leaves the platform, sunlight will pass through this "Eye of the Sky," illuminating the myriad scales on the steel columns, and also illuminating the track that leads the mountain city to the world. This is not only the completion of a building, but also the departure of a city's golden age.
