The momentum is building as the construction of the main exhibition hall, themed “Divine Birds Carrying Flowers”, kicks into high gear. The charm of antiquity is alive in the scattered flower tower and the core structure, both now taking their distinct forms. As the epicenter of the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition, the central pavilion is progressively unveiling its grandeur, with an ambitious target for completion by the close of this year!

    A Glimpse of the Past: The scattered flower tower, an embodiment of Tang Dynasty grace, has reached an impressive milestone

    Our latest insights reveal that the Integrated Service Pavilion, boasting the swiftest construction pace, is undergoing a comprehensive transformation with interior and exterior embellishments. The interior's meticulous finishing, including ceilings and wall frameworks, stands at an impressive 80% completion, while the external facades and roof framework have achieved a flawless 100%, signaling the commencement of glass curtain wall and aluminum panel facade installations. Simultaneous progress across the exterior ground level exemplifies harmonious construction coordination.

    Within the central exhibition hall, the foundational steel framework has been meticulously assembled, and the roof installation is seamlessly advancing. The groundwork for interior fine detailing is 20% complete, and the intricate insertion of the exterior facade curtain wall framework is in full swing.

    The architectural design takes inspiration from the scattered flower tower described in the poem “Sunlight Illuminates the Chengdu City, Morning Light Scatters the Flower Tower”, written by the renowned Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai. Presently, the construction is in motion, encompassing the intricate refinement of interior details and the ongoing installation of the external facade's curtain wall. As the project unfolds, the foundational phase of the curtain wall's construction has achieved a significant 60% completion, while the surface layer has advanced to a commendable 30%.

    The primary construction of the Tianfu Residence Pavilion and the Botanical Pavilion has been successfully accomplished, with the focus now shifting to secondary structural elements and plastering to refine the structures.

    Blending Modern Construction Techniques to Evoke Ancient Architectural Grace

    Each pavilion is gradually unfolding, a testament to the persistent resolution of construction challenges. “Beginning with the exterior curtain walls and roofing, which faithfully capture the essence of ancient architectural aesthetics. The unified design of the scattered flower tower mirrors the loft-style architecture of the Tang Dynasty, characterized by its projecting and intricately detailed roof structures. This intricate execution poses substantial construction hurdles, owing to the complexity of the techniques and the meticulous precision required to embody the antique design”, elaborated the Expo company's engineering representative.

    As revealed, the heart of the 2024 Chengdu World Horticultural Exposition's primary venue is poised to conclude its decorative and finishing work by the close of November, with a comprehensive finish anticipated by the end of December.

Let us collectively anticipate these exciting advancements!
