Date:2022-01-28

National Convention Center Phase is located in Beijing Olympic Sports Center Area, north of National Convention Center (phase I) covers an area about 138800 and consists of main buildings and supporting buildings. The main part is Convention and Exhibition Center, with a total construction area about 420000 . It'll be mainly used to hold state affairs, government affairs and high-end business exhibition activities in the future.

The supporting part of National Convention Center Phase Ⅱ is located in the west of main body and consists of two plots, with a total construction area about 360000 . The South plot is 5A class office building and boutique commercial complex, and the North plot is composed of two hotels, a luxury hotel and a five-star hotel.

It will become a new type of intelligent and influential international exhibition center after completion.

01 Solemnity and dynamics are in harmony

The main building of National Convention Center Phase 2 is designed by Christian de Portzamparc, a famous French architect as well as The Pritzker Architecture Prize winner.


The architectural appearance is relaxed, upright and calm, and the facade is simple and changeable. For example, the shape is magnificent, elegant and light, solemn and cordial.

The overhanging eaves of east facade convey the charm of Chinese traditional architecture, and show Chinese majesty, etiquette, rites and music and the transparency and openness of modern China.

The straight roof forms elegant lines, which complement the surrounding buildings and Bird's Nest.

As a finale work of Olympic Sports Center Area, National Convention Center (Phase I and Phase II) adds a perfect stroke to the central axis of Beijing. It shows the style of Chinese cultural self-confidence, openness, inclusiveness and inclusiveness.

Just as Liang Sicheng, the father of modern architecture, said: "The personality of Chinese architecture is the character of our nation, that is a special part of our art and thought, not only in the material method of structure itself. If a city in an old oriental country completely loses its artistic characteristics in architecture, it is very sad in terms of cultural expression and outlook. Because this fact clearly represents the decline of our culture and the phenomenon of elimination. "

East, South and North facades of the main building are composed of a special curtain wall unit - "bird window" shaped by metal and glass curtain wall. The sun shines through the scattered "birds" on the curtain wall to indoor, forming a soft and active light and shadow changing effect, which not only increases the daylighting, but also adds the upward movement of the building, giving the dull building a flying and lively charm.

02 Economical Olympic Games and Green exhibition coincide

The main body of National Convention Center Phase 2 is the location of  the Main Media Center (MMC) of Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games.

The scheme of MMC is relevant departments jointly organize the design unit to conduct multiple scheme discussions and optimization from the multi-dimensional comprehensive consideration of function and cost, and finally combine IBC and MPC.

During the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, MMC is the competition time media headquarters of registered print media and broadcasters around the world. It is expected to receive more than 3000 text and photographic journalists and about 12000 broadcasters. It is the international news editing department and television signal production and transmission center for reporting and broadcasting the grand events of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games.

In June 2021, the main body of National Convention Center Phase 2  was successfully delivered to Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, presenting a beautiful "Big country business card" to the world.

In fact, MMC's main part is learning from National Convention Center Phase 2, which is the practice of the concept  Economic in Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, and also reflects the urban infrastructure serving Winter Olympic Games.

It will serve the media all over the world at the time of game. After the game, it will return to the original exhibition function and meet the important mission of serving high-end government affairs and state affairs and diplomatic activities. This is also a major innovation of Beijing's Winter Olympics.

From the initial stage of construction, National Convention Center Phase 2 has adhered to the sustainable development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, committed to building a world-leading smart Convention and Exhibition Center and the highest standard green energy-saving building, and won the highest level certification in China's green building evaluation standard - "Three-star Green Building Label".

As one of the main suppliers of aluminum honeycomb panel, Winsom produces a series of products that meet the standards of green building materials, always practice energy conservation and low carbon, promote green development and contribute to sustainable development.

 

03 Simplicity and quality are in parallel

As an important window to show Chinese level, National Convention Center Phase 2 not only reflects the style and charm of Oriental powers in architectural concept, but also shows its uniqueness in details.

In order to echo the magnificent momentum of "birds" flying together, the facade curtain walls supplied by Winsom adopt special-shaped (flat four sides, trapezoid) honeycomb panels as curtain wall decoration, and cooperate with the installation system of recessed joint to make the curtain wall three-dimensional, flexible and changeable.

large-scale panel design (the maximum W= 2685mm), the facade is concise and changeable, making the whole building body natural and flexible.

Compared with flat honeycomb panel, the process of special-shaped honeycomb panel is more difficult. In order to make the bending edge of honeycomb panel stereoscopic without destroying surface coating, we adopt the industry-leading CNC roll forming technology to ensure the accuracy of bending angle and the coating will not crack through gradual rolling.

As the supporting project of National Conference Center- International Reception Hall's curtain wall adopts the combination of stone honeycomb panel and glass.

Compounding 5mm thick Moon Beige stone with aluminum honeycomb panel, which not only maintains the natural decoration effect, but also overcomes the shortcomings of fragile natural stone, large weight and low safety factor. The application on the curtain wall presents a solemn, steady, natural and pure, dignified and dynamic decorative effect.

The construction concept of high quality, high standards and high requirements runs through the main body and supporting projects of National Conference Center.

Therefore, in order to ensure the high quality and safety of stone honeycomb panel, the owner, architect, consultant, construction unit, material supplier and other parties have conducted in-depth investigation and demonstration for many times, and adopted the stone honeycomb panel four sides closed by stone.

As the stone honeycomb panel supplier of the project, Winsom also put forward relevant suggestions with rich industry experience and professional knowledge: the aluminum honeycomb panel as the base plate must be four sides closed structure, and the edge cutting (opening) structure is strictly prohibited, so as to ensure the overall water tightness and air tightness, and ensure the bonding between the edge sealing stone and the directly closed aluminum sheet, Improve the bonding strength and eliminate the hidden danger of stone edge falling off. Let the stone honeycomb  panel shine and be foolproof in National Convention Center project.

National Convention Center Phase II  is the latest and largest new project in Beijing competition area of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games. In order to manifest national quality, its project acceptance criteria are high standards, strict requirements and high-quality.

Therefore, the owner, curtain wall team, RFR & CCAT curtain wall consulting company and other parties visit factory of suppliers at all levels, and also put forward strict requirements for our aluminum honeycomb panel and stone honeycomb panel in terms of product appearance color difference, dimensional accuracy, production process and finished product packaging.

Winsom aluminum honeycomb panel of National Convention Center Phase II project and Winsom stone honeycomb panel of the supporting project have strict requirements from the incoming inspection and color difference control of raw materials (aluminum coil, coating, glue, stone) to the roll forming, automatic glue spraying, hot pressing composite and other links in the production process. While strictly implementing the standard requirements of the owner and RFR & CCAT curtain wall consulting company, each process keeps improving to ensure the delivery of high-quality and high-standard finished products.

From the beginning of National Convention Center construction II, besides high standard requirements, it also faces many pressures with very tight construction period and great difficulty. This key project in Beijing has brought unprecedented challenges to the participating enterprises.

We use our own refined management and production system to scientifically and reasonably schedule production, accurately control the quality of each process, provide scientific, safe, efficient and simple product solutions for the project with professional skills and all-out attitude, and carefully create each piece of honeycomb structural panel to help 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.


04 Classic quality, Future is worth expecting

In the future, National Convention Center Phase 2 will be used as a "national business card" to help the construction of Beijing International Exchange Center and become a bridge to communicate with the world. China will show China's style, quality and responsibility of a big country with a more inclusive and confident open attitude.

In future,

Winsom is of national high quality
