The Wenzhou Vocational & Technical College has introduced an innovative design that revolutionizes building wall cladding. With a focus on sustainability and individuality, the Recycled Concrete design utilizes building residues as aggregates for the cladding, giving full play to the characteristics of low carbon, environmental protection, and sustainability. The unique properties of this design, combined with its realization technology, make it a game-changer in the industry.
The Recycled Concrete design employs the "J" type as the monomer, offering multiple combination modes that provide richer expression effects. By utilizing the concrete molding characteristic, the design incorporates an insulating layer in the preparation process of the concrete exterior wall cladding. This not only reduces field workload but also meets mass production requirements. The processing mold is single, resulting in low production costs and convenient production and transportation.
The realization technology of the Recycled Concrete design focuses on the treatment of concrete surface decoration language. It explores appearance molding design and surface treatment effects to create a visually appealing and unique cladding solution. Additionally, the design optimizes the connection between the concrete exterior wall cladding and the insulation structure, ensuring both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
The dimensions of the Recycled Concrete design are 1200mm*1200mm, with a weight of 75KG. These specifications make it suitable for various architectural projects, providing a versatile and sustainable solution for building exteriors.
The Recycled Concrete design has garnered recognition in the industry, winning the Iron A' Design Award in the Building Materials and Construction Components category in 2019. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Recycled Concrete design stands out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world.
With its unique properties, sustainable approach, and recognition in the industry, the Recycled Concrete design by Wenzhou Vocational & Technical College is paving the way for a new era of building wall cladding. Its combination of functionality, aesthetics, and environmental consciousness makes it a standout choice for architects and designers seeking innovative solutions.
