yunfu lotus film structure stage is located in Xinxing County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, China's Zen capital, China. It is one of the "Three Great Saints of the East". It is the birthplace, spreading place and passing place of Master Huineng. It has more than 1,300 years of Zen culture heritage and rich Zen cultural resources. The construction of the lotus stage echoes the theme of promoting Zen culture and has become a major landscape in the "Zen Domain Town" cultural tourism scenic spot. It has won the 2021 "Building Technology Innovation Award".

Lotus is a symbol of Buddhism and also represents a state of wisdom. Buddhism has the saying "flowers bloom to see the Buddha nature", that is, "enlightenment", which means that when a person has a lotus state of mind, he will realize the great wisdom of Buddhism , and inspire people to come from the world but not be invaded and influenced by the filth of the world, and like a lotus, "out of the mud without being stained". The design of the lotus film structure stage is not only beautiful, but also based on local conditions, promoting the emerging and even more Chinese Zen culture.

The government spent a huge amount of money to build Zen cultural tourist attractions and build a lotus stage for the live performance of the "Sixth Patriarchal Ceremony". The significance is to present the sensory and cognizable cultural forms to every tourist, inspiring our little interest in Zen culture, actively understand and accept them, and pre-educate them invisibly.

Yunfu Lotus Stage is the world's largest 360-degree rotating, open and closed water lotus platform. It is made of huge steel structure and complex membrane structure. The lotus petals are membrane structures. The total amount of the entire project is large, the design is complex, and the construction is difficult. Jinxin Space encountered unprecedented technical problems in the project. The total area of ​​petals of

20 sizes reaches more than 11,000 square meters. All petals must be automatically opened and closed at the same time. In order to solve the structural stability and safety of the petals during opening and closing and stage rotation, the team used rich experience to complete innovation in design and construction technology; the outer layer of

petals uses PTFE film , and the inner lining uses PTFE grid film. We solved the problem of seamless welding of of PTFE grid film and conventional membrane fabric (because in construction, professional tools and construction technology must be provided in order to prevent glass fiber from being broken), enhanced the rendering effect of laser lights, and created an immersive stage effect.

The lotus stage designed using film material is like a lotus from the water, which is ingenious and exquisite. It not only has a unique and beautiful shape, but also integrates with the surrounding natural environment and cultural landscape.

film structure can keep the building a certain degree of light transmission. During the day, the lotus stage has sufficient light, which not only reduces the lighting cost but also helps the energy. In addition, the refractive index of the film material to light is above 70%. Under the sunlight, soft astigmatism forms indoors, giving people a comfortable feeling.

The gorgeous lights at night reveal the building, and this giant crystal lotus lantern can freely change colors and light up the lake and night sky. The cooperation on the stage is required for performances. It was originally ordinary, but while the lotus stage slowly opened, it compared the natural beauty of the lotus blooming. It was lifelike under the light reflection and became a must-see landscape for the audience. Only the light-weight membrane structure can present such an effect.

Lotus stage belongs to membrane structure building . tension membrane structure has unique image plasticity and high flexibility and adaptability of structural methods. Its shape can change arbitrarily with the architect's imagination, can be integrated with multiple environments, has artistic decoration effect, and can also cooperate with LED lighting to create an immersive feeling. Therefore, membrane structure is very suitable for the construction of stage performance venues, including my country's National Grand Theater, Qingdao Olympic Sailing Center Maritime Multi-function Hall, etc.
