Located in Kunming, Yunnan, the Fenglong Bay International Tourism Resort features a signature building inspired by the soaring wings of a phoenix. As the central landmark of the resort, this structure not only embodies local cultural symbolism, but also serves as a major tourist attraction.
Membrane Structure Application
The building adopts ETFE membrane technology—renowned for its lightweight nature, superior flexibility, and high translucency, making it an ideal solution for iconic scenic architecture.
- Freeform Shape: ETFE’s flexibility enables the creation of fluid, dynamic curves, perfectly capturing the essence of phoenix wings.
- Stunning Visual Impact: With excellent light transmission, the membrane delivers a crystal-clear aesthetic, blending natural light with the architecture and enhancing the immersive visitor experience.
- Lightweight Large-Span Coverage: Minimal supporting structure allows for expansive coverage, emphasizing the building’s openness and lightness.
- Durable & Weather-Resistant: ETFE membrane stands up to Kunming’s varied climatic conditions, maintaining both structural stability and visual appeal over the long term.
Project Significance
This project demonstrates the unique advantages of ETFE membrane structures in cultural tourism architecture, highlighting their broad application potential for destination landmarks, theme parks, and cultural landscapes. It proves that membrane structure is not merely a building material—it is an artistic tool for shaping iconic landmarks and memorable visitor experiences.
