Thailand Terracotta Panel & Terracotta Baguette Project | Architectural Terracotta Facade
This project utilizes high-quality terracotta panels and baguettes, enhancing the modern aesthetic and durability of the architectural facade.
A Synergy of Thai Cultural Heritage and LOPO Terracotta Technology
Project Philosophy
This 18,000m² educational complex, developed in collaboration with LOPO Terracotta, embodies Thailand's commitment to sustainable pedagogy through:
- 78,400 custom-designed Terracotta Panels
- 12km of rotating Terracotta Baguette Sunscreens
- Integrated Terracotta Fins ventilation system
Architectural Breakthroughs
Cultural Narratives in 3D Form
Advanced BIM modeling transformed traditional Naga mythology into 14 distinct Terracotta Cladding patterns:
| Pattern Type | Panel Size | Special Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Naga Scales | 800×2400mm | 22° light-refracting angles |
| Lotus Relief | 600×1800mm | 3D-printed molds |
Smart Environmental Control
The Terracotta Rainscreen system achieves 55% energy savings through:
- Self-shading Terracotta Fins with 45°-70° adaptive rotation
- Phase-change material infused Terracotta Wall Panels
- AI-powered airflow prediction system
