construction
In the architecture of the Kaohsiung exhibition hall, environmental friendliness was used as the main criterion. The Kaohsiung exhibition hall uses the chimney effect to ventilate and cool buildings, thereby greatly reducing power consumption. The roof of the building was constructed like a wave and the curtain wall consists of 16,000 aluminum profiles. The LED lights on the roof glow like a wave in the dark. There are no columns in the 27-meter-high, 182-meter-long and 50-meter-wide south hall. With a floor load capacity of 5 tons / square meter, the Kaohsiung exhibition hall is the only exhibition space in Taiwan in which very large, heavy objects can be exhibited.
