Located in the Guangdong-Macao In-depth Cooperation Zone, it covers about 190,000 square meters, serving as the mainland's first multifunctional community specifically designed for Macau residents. This comprehensive project integrates housing, education, elderly care, and medical facilities, with 27 residential buildings using eco-friendly prefabricated construction methods to provide around 4,000 fully furnished units.     Construction began in late 2020, and it's scheduled for completion by the end of 2023. The buildings are connected by sheltered walkways for residents, while public areas incorporate Southern European style and unique Macau elements, such as Portuguese-style stone squares, fostering a distinctive sense of familiarity. The "Macau New Neighbourhood" will offer facilities aligned with Macau standards, enhancing convenience for Macau residents working and living in the cooperation zone.   Project Process     The QZY Models team created a marketing display model for the "Macau New Neighbourhood" project, showcasing advanced craftsmanship and the ability to overcome industry-standard production techniques.     In the construction of the road section, we employed stainless steel electroplating technology to give the road surface a distinctive metallic texture. Simultaneously, acrylic UV printing technology was utilized for ground installation, marking a pioneering use of one-time printing technology in the marketing display of residential details, setting a new industry precedent.     Furthermore, we boldly embraced 3D printing technology for the entire building's physical structure. Unlike traditional modeling approaches, almost all architectural elements, excluding the glass curtain wall, were produced through 3D printing. We successfully addressed challenges related to the widespread use of 3D printing on building facades, particularly refining the precision of facade detailing. Through meticulous testing, we achieved a remarkable 0.2mm precision, surpassing the industry standard of 0.3mm, showcasing a higher level of precision control in model production and a significant leap in detail presentation.     The success of this project not only underscores QZY Models' leading position in craft and technology but also highlights our adept application of advanced techniques and meticulous attention to detail.   Final Outcome

This article will focus on the background and design process of the FENIX Museum of Migration in Rotterdam.       Built in 1923, the Fenix Warehouse, once the world’s largest, is being transformed into the Rotterdam Immigrant Museum by MAD Architects. The renovation includes a 360-degree observation deck and a connecting staircase.   MAD preserved the warehouse’s iconic green steel windows and concrete structure, adding glass facades and two stainless steel spiral staircases. The revamped Katendrecht Peninsula aims to connect the north and south of Rotterdam through exhibitions and cultural events. Construction started in 2020, with completion expected in 2024.     In creating the model for the FENIX Museum of Migration, the key challenge was replicating the intricate form, especially the “metal tornado” staircase. Considering 3D printing, we faced complexity due to the tornado’s shape, requiring a secondary design for seam concealment and precise line management (0.2mm to 0.3mm).   After four prints and three electroplating sessions, we achieved a flawless, seamlessly integrated component.   After completing the basic architectural structure, the next step involves creating the wood texture. Traditional methods like simple wood color spraying or veneer application have shortcomings. Thus, relying on the master’s technical expertise, we chose the hand-painting approach. This not only achieves texture authenticity but also avoids any material seams.       The allure of renovation projects often lies in the harmonious coexistence of the old and the new, showcasing a futuristic rotating staircase juxtaposed with the historically rich old factory.   We created a glossy stainless steel finish for the staircase, emphasizing its modernity.   Simultaneously, we used aging techniques to restore the historical tension of the old factory. Our overseas partners captured real-life photos at the construction site in Rotterdam, providing abundant reference material to capture the details of the materials.     Additionally, the model involves intricate lighting design, demanding a natural reproduction of overall lighting effects while ensuring visibility in the brightly lit exhibition hall.   The display adopts mirrored reflections to express the water surface effect of the project site, striking a balance between scene reproduction and sleek simplicity, and directing visual attention to the architecture itself.   The packaging, transportation, and installation after completing the model are crucial. Ensuring the high quality and robustness of the model, along with a professional packaging process, is a prerequisite for a flawless execution. Upon arrival, installing and fine-tuning the model according to exhibition requirements is a vital aspect of our work, representing the final step to ensure the smooth display of the model.

As the core of the Nanhai Cultural Zone, it includes a grand theater, a museum, a sports center, and related supporting facilities. Integrating functions such as art, culture, commerce, and leisure entertainment, it is poised to become a new cultural landmark in the region and a fresh symbol for the Guangzhou-Foshan urban area in the future.     Designed by MAD Architects, the Nanhai Art Center incorporates the grand overhanging eaves of traditional Southern Guangdong architecture to create a smooth and continuous roofline for its three main structures. The eaves feature a semi-transparent white ETFE membrane structure, creating ample open space underneath for diverse interactions between people, architecture, and the surrounding landscape. The roof design showcases eco-friendly technologies, including cadmium telluride photovoltaic power generation, rainwater collection, and vertical greening, illustrating a green and carbon reduction initiative.     The construction of the Nanhai Art Center is set to commence in 2024, with completion scheduled for 2029.     The Nanhai Art Center's primary structure is gracefully showcased in pristine white, highlighting its rhythmic form and detailed surface textures. The creation of the distinctive roof posed a significant challenge, involving initial shaping through CNC technology and subsequent meticulous manual polishing and assembly. This demanding step required masterful skills to achieve seamless joints. Additionally, the meticulously crafted roof underwent thorough testing for light transmission, ensuring optimal lighting effects.     The model's minimalist style makes lighting choices crucial for the overall effect. Concealing wiring, adjusting distance, and managing color temperature pose unique challenges compared to conventional architecture. Due to differences in distance, design, and materials, the lighting effects from the same set of lights within the structure can vary significantly. Addressing these issues requires continuous and meticulous testing.     In addition to the external appearance, we crafted the internal structure to ensure a comprehensive design presentation. During initial testing, we found uneven light transmission on the top surface due to variations in the internal structure. To resolve this, we adjusted the internal structure by dismantling parts of the roof. After multiple optimizations, we successfully achieved the expected design outcomes for various illuminated areas.     The team of QZY Models approaches each project with care, creating customized model designs and productions based on the unique characteristics of each project. We consistently explore new presentation methods and technical approaches to faithfully capture the original design concept of the project. The aim is to maximize the visual appeal and artistic value of physical models.
