AOE covers exhibition centre in China with white perforated metal

Chinese architecture studio AOE has wrapped a conference centre near Jinan, China, in a layer of perforated metal screens.To get more news about Perforated metal facade cladding, you can visit mesh-fabrics official website.

The Shuifa Geographic Information Industrial Park Exhibition Center sits 12 miles outside of the city of Jinan in east China.An inner wall of glass is screened by slanting walls of translucent mesh, which appear solid from a distance and diffuse lights at night.

"The interior of the building is obscured by the white perforated plating," said AOE

"As night falls, light shines through the perforated plates to make the whole building glow, like a piece of shiny marble standing in the wilderness."Four angular volumes lean towards and away from each other, creating canyon-like entrances. AOE deliberately wanted the complex to look like stylised rock formations.

As one of the first projects to be built in the new Changqing Economic Development Zone, AOE used an introverted design to minimise views over the less-than-inspiring location,

"In order to eliminate the visual impact of the messy surrounding environment, geometrical hills are designed to surround the square, which slowly rises as people enter the site, gradually blocking out the view," said AOE.The density of the perforation increases as the floors rise, to match the functions of the rooms inside. Exhibition halls are located on the two lower floors, so the walls are more transparent.

Upstairs, the third and fourth floors contain office space and have a denser mesh for privacy."The gradual changes in the perforated plates allow the permeability of the building facade to gradually change from top to bottom, giving a sense of depth to the overall surface of the building," said AOE.
