The canopy in front of the station square of Guigang High speed Railway Station, Guangxi, adopts the avant-garde ETFE inflatable membrane structure building form, and matches with the cool LED dazzle lighting effect. The purpose is to create a station landscape with visual impact for the vast number of passengers, and at the same time, it has a practical sunshade and rain protection function. The canopy of Guigang High speed Railway Station is the first ETFE bubble roof canopy corridor imitating the “Water Cube” in Guangxi, and there are no more than 10 canopy of high-speed railway station squares nationwide in this form.
ETFE membrane structure is inherently high in appearance and looks transparent and weak, but its physical performance is no worse than that of traditional glass roof. Compared with glass, it has better self-cleaning performance, strong weather resistance, and won’t burst and hurt people. What’s more, as an outdoor roof building, its service life is more than 20 years, and each air pillow unit is independent. If it is accidentally damaged in the middle, it can be supplemented and replaced at any time.
This ETFE canopy has become a new online red card punching place in Guigang City. I believe that every passing passenger will remember the unique “scenic spot” of Guigang Station.
