Honeycomb Panel

Design Unit: East China Architectural Design & Research Institute

The Damo Fang Performing Arts Center is located along Tianfu Avenue in Chengdu. Designed by the East China Architectural Design & Research Institute (which also designed the Shanghai World Expo Cultural Center), this project will become a landmark architectural marvel in Chengdu upon completion.

The performing arts center primarily consists of two components: a large gyroscope and a small gyroscope.

Large Gyroscope:

Height: 46.6 meters

Diameter: 148 meters (east-west axis) / 152 meters (north-south axis)

Components: Stage area, audience seating, rest areas, and functional zones.

Plan view: Approximately circular.

Small Gyroscope:

Maximum elevation: 31.32 meters

Diameter: 67 meters.

To ensure structural strength, Winsom utilized its self-developed FIC Series Aluminum Honeycomb Panels for the fa?ade cladding. Key specifications include:

Reinforced perimeter steel framework.

Total panel thickness: 60 mm (including aluminum subframe).

Color: Metallic gray.

Design: Triangular aluminum honeycomb panels (3–4 meters in height) create a dynamic, staggered three-dimensional decorative surface. The dome features double-curved panels.

From afar, the structure exudes fluidity and grandeur, while up close, the metallic lines emphasize simplicity and modernity. The unique design of Damo Fang posed significant challenges in construction and material selection. Strict requirements were applied to the raw materials, manufacturing processes, and installation of the metal exterior cladding.

Winsom customized the FIC10-J25 Aluminum Honeycomb Panel System for this project, featuring:

High-grade raw materials.

Advanced roll-forming technology and hot-press composite technology for panel fabrication.

Full factory production to eliminate on-site secondary processing.

A scientifically designed installation system that accommodates thermal expansion, contraction, and structural tolerances.

This system ensures a smooth, durable, and aesthetically cohesive metal decorative surface.
