Ningbo Future City ETFE Membrane Structure Landscape Architecture

Under the opinion of "Empowering Ecology with Technology, Illuminating Life with Innovation", the ETFE membrane structure, with its unique material properties and design flexibility,Well expresses the good artistic and practical value of membrane structures This membrane material, made of ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer, not only redefines the visual expression of landscape architecture but also meets the diverse demands of Ningbo Future City for green, intelligent, and efficient development with its high-performance features, injecting lightweight yet resilient architectural vitality into this coastal sci-tech innovation city.

The core advantages of the ETFE membrane structure perfectly align with the planning challenges and development goals of Ningbo Future City. Its excellent translucency can reach over 90%, like a layer of "breathable glass". During the day, it allows natural light to penetrate, reducing the lighting energy consumption of landscape venues; under the ETFE membrane structure , sunlight filters through the membrane to cast dappled light during the day, and at night, it transforms into a "streaming light tunnel", becoming a new landmark for citizens to check in during night outings.

Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) is a fluorine-based plastic polymer that offers a creative and lightweight alternative to glass. Developed over 40 years ago, ETFE has a similar light transmission to glass, but at just 1% of the weight. With a lifespan of over 30 years and excellent weathering properties, ETFE material film is becoming the material of choice for outdoor and outdoor/indoor spaces in a variety of climates.

The fabric canopy is currently in the stage of hoisting and tensioning the ETFE air pillow membrane structure, followed by the installation of the inverted umbrella membrane structure. The Marriott engineering team has reasonably arranged the construction schedule, effectively managed on-site operations, and is working swiftly. The project is about to be completed, so stay tuned.
