The construction material is the advanced ETFE (Ethyl Tetra Fluoro Ethlene), a hyaline membrane with great benefits in both environment protection and energy saving, which can introduce in a large amount natural lights. Furthermore, this kind of material is gifted with the function of self-cleaning and preferable resistance to pressure. It is seldom stained with dusts, and dusts can be washed away if met with rainwater. More to the point, this 7.9-hectare-building is erecting steady without any rebar and concrete, and just connected by steel tubes with 12 000 panel points.
