ABSTRACT

The Taiyuan Wusu International Terminal III Reconstruction and Expansion Project, as a national key project, is a future landmark building in Taiyuan City, characterized by large building volume, high passenger flow, and complicated functions. Due to the complexity and specificity of the project, many problems and challenges have arisen. By studying these issues and practical solutions, it has significant implications for the subsequent curtain wall design for airports and transportation buildings construction. Therefore, this article lists the parameters of the curtain wall system used and summarizes some problems and solutions encountered in the actual design process, providing practical construction experience in curtain wall engineering.

KEYWORDS

Transportation building, architecture design, terminal, facade design, cultural wall
