Project Overview: An Expo "Held in the Fields"
When it comes to modern eco-tourism architecture, a colorful ETFE membrane roof offers the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality. For the Agricultural Expo Park project, we designed and installed a vibrant, multi-colored ETFE structure that serves as a landmark while providing an optimal environment for plant growth. This colorful ETFE membrane roof not only enhances the visual appeal of the park but also utilizes advanced light-transmitting technology to ensure the interior spaces stay bright and energy-efficient.
The Sichuan Tianfu Agricultural Expo Park represents a revolutionary “field-museum integration” model. Covering a vast area, the project features a “finger-like” layout that interweaves seamlessly with the rural landscape. This innovative approach moves away from traditional enclosed exhibition halls, creating an organic connection between modern agricultural expo facilities and the natural environment.
Vibrant Aesthetic with Colorful ETFE Membrane
To provide essential weather protection while maintaining a bright, open atmosphere, the designers utilized a high-performance ETFE membrane roof for the outdoor exhibition spaces. Unlike traditional roofing materials, the colorful ETFE is lightweight and translucent, allowing for a vibrant architectural expression that perfectly complements the agricultural theme and enhances the visual impact of the park.
Advanced Light & Heat Management For an agricultural expo, light management is critical. The colorful ETFE membrane roof allows for high visible light transmission, which is essential for the photosynthesis of the plants inside the pavilions. By incorporating specialized fritting and tints into the ETFE membrane, we can reflect excess infrared heat, preventing the “greenhouse effect” and maintaining a comfortable temperature for both plants and tourists during peak summer months.

Eco-Friendly Design & Sustainable Engineering
Aligned with global green building standards, the main exhibition hall is engineered for near-zero energy consumption. The ETFE tensile structure provides natural light transmission and superior durability, significantly reducing the carbon footprint of the facility. As a leading ETFE membrane structure manufacturer, SkyTensile ensured that the pre-fabricated components were installed with precision, supporting the park’s ecological mission.
Structural Design and Material Efficiency The design of the Agricultural Expo Park required a material that could handle both large spans and diverse climate conditions. A colorful ETFE membrane roof was chosen because it is significantly lighter than glass, allowing for a much more creative and fluid steel supporting structure. This lightweight nature reduces the carbon footprint of the entire building. Additionally, the low-friction surface means that dust and pollen do not stick easily, allowing rainwater to keep the roof clear and bright with zero maintenance costs.
Structural Efficiency and Self-Cleaning Beyond its environmental benefits, the colorful ETFE roof is incredibly tough, resisting UV radiation and extreme temperatures without losing its structural integrity. Because the material is roughly 1% the weight of glass, the supporting steel structure can be much more slender. Additionally, the low-friction surface means that dust and pollen—common in agricultural settings—do not stick easily, allowing rainwater to keep the roof clear and bright with zero maintenance costs.
