A Vision of Zaha Hadid Architects
Within the dynamic urban environment of Beijing, Daixing Airport stands as an architectural testament to innovation and futuristic design. A vision of Zaha Hadid Architects, this state-of-the-art aviation hub pushes the boundaries of conventional airport design.
Single-layer Entrance Canopies at the Airport
Vector Foiltec is proud to have been part of the project: We delivered the single-layer entrance canopies!
456 ETFE foil segments are divided between 8 canopies, totaling 4,200 m² of Texlon® ETFE. The client benefits from engineering the steel structure supporting the Texlon® ETFE system with exceptional precision. This ensures structural integrity and a visually stunning result.
Vector Foiltec’s work at this airport included the design, production, transportation, and flawless installation of the entire Texlon® ETFE system and structure connection parts. Throughout the project, Vector Foiltec ensured that the quality and construction period met and exceeded the requirements of the client, supervision, and owner.
The airport project’s complexity necessitated a keen focus on installation precision, structural intricacy, and the use of innovative material. Vector Foiltec rose to the challenge, leveraging our expertise to meet and surpass the high expectations of the client, supervisor, and owner.
