Glass curtain wall mainly refers to the wall protection hanging in the main structure of the building project, and glass is the main material of this wall protection, to a certain extent, determines the level of energy conservation and environmental protection of the building project, and by virtue of riding outside decorative, energy saving and thermal insulation and seismic superiority, more and more used in high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
The main categories of glass curtain wall are: first, safety glass curtain wall, this type of glass curtain wall is mainly composed of glass components and glass panels; Second, unit glass curtain wall, this type of glass curtain wall is mainly composed of supporting devices, glass panels and supporting structures, the hoist is installed on the track, and then the glass panel is lifted, this construction operation can greatly reduce the workload of the construction personnel; Third, frame support glass curtain wall, this type of glass curtain wall is mainly composed of metal frame support around the glass panel, usually including hidden frame, semi-hidden frame and open frame glass curtain wall.
The importance of glass curtain wall in architectural design is self-evident. It not only needs to reflect the requirements of architectural artistry, but also has the advantages of transparent livable, energy saving and safety. Especially for high-rise buildings, these advantages will be presented to a greater extent. At the same time, high-rise buildings have the problem of lighting, and with the gradual warming of the earth, in such a climate environment, ventilation has become a major demand for housing. However, how to properly design the glass curtain wall, ensure the improvement of building lighting, ensure the ventilation of the building, ensure the overall vision of the building can be broader, and enhance the modern sense of the building appearance has important challenges for architectural designers.
The main role of glass curtain wall in architectural design
1, to meet the building ventilation needs
Ventilation has a great impact on the overall environment of the building. Especially in the increasingly warm environment, the ventilated glass design can give people a cool feeling in physiology and vision. Then designers can take part of the glass curtain wall can be opened and closed design, in rainy weather can be closed to become a closed space, open on sunny days, so that the outside air and wind can better penetrate into the exchange of fresh air. In particular, in the design process of commercial buildings, such glass curtain walls can be used to create open-air activity areas, providing a more open space for various activities.
2, control building lighting
In the design of civil buildings, the dark space becomes bright and the harsh sunlight becomes softer, which can make the residents feel comfortable; In commercial buildings, it can change the overall atmosphere of the building. Therefore, while improving the permeability of glass, attention should be paid to the choice of glass type. For the dark side of the building, transparent glass curtain wall can be used to focus on lighting. For the sunny side of the building, cranberry glass can be used to ease the visual effect.
3. Broaden your horizons
A broad vision is a major demand for both commercial and civil buildings, and the more limited the visible space, the stronger the sense of constraint. Designers should make full use of the characteristics of glass material permeability, into the glass curtain wall, even small apartment can feel spacious, after the expansion of building space, through the glass curtain wall to observe the external space, can also have a broader vision, get rid of the constraint of residential use experience.
