Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 25 (Reporter Zhang Xiao) The 2024 Zhongguancun Forum Annual Conference officially opened on the 25th. A series of scientific and technological highlights were "unveiled".
As the main venue and permanent site of the annual meeting of the forum, the debut of the Zhongguancun International Innovation Center is a highlight in itself.
Viewed from above, the shape of the "Shamrock" building creates a modern texture. The roof is covered with soil and greenery, which complements Haidian's "Three Mountains and Five Gardens", and slowly approaching, it is also a "science and technology living room" that gathers cutting-edge design and scientific and technological innovation elements.
Stepping into the permanent venue, several strips of light spread out on the roof like shooting stars heading ahead, eventually converging into the hall's aircraft-like lighting decoration, which can change color or adjust the lighting automatically. The top of the building is also made of the same light-transmitting film of the Water Cube, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance and energy reduction.
The indoor net height of the large conference hall that meets the international first-class standard should not be less than 9.5 meters, but the height of the permanent conference site building is 12 meters, which requires the roof, steel beams and other components to reduce the height as much as possible. Therefore, the construction team turned to technology for "space" and innovatively applied slotted precast concrete laminated slab technology, which not only reduced the beam height but also met the load requirements.
There are many more architectural innovations like this, and attentive attendees should note that, unlike the traditional angular conference halls, each of the four corners of each conference hall in the permanent site is rounded and has no right angles. Such a design language is not only simple and atmospheric, but also conveys the development concept that scientific and technological exchanges should be inclusive and move forward hand in hand.
After exploring the beauty of architectural technology, the exhibition application "moves to change the scene", which is also wonderful.
At the service desk of the venue, the AIGC bionic humanoid robot "Xiaoguan" was the first to "take a photo" with the participants, not only the facial expressions and body movements were more natural, but also the work was also "hard-working" after the preliminary "training". Talk to them, ask about the location and time of the forum, and they can also "answer the same questions".
You can also experience 3D imaging technology on site, without physical contact, participants can click on the imaging screen with their fingers to query the meeting information and complete interactive operations. In real life, this technology has been widely used in scenarios such as automotive intelligent cockpits, medical and health care, and smart homes.
Also a must-check is an environmental art installation called "Transformation" at the permanent site, which is a "special plan" for this year's annual meeting.
With the continuous iteration of smart appliances, it has become a problem to deal with a large number of waste circuit boards. The organizers of the annual meeting of the forum recycled a total weight of 1 ton of waste electronic components and 800 pieces of waste circuit boards to make environmentally friendly art installations, using the principle of trompe l'oeil, the audience can see the letter "ZGC" and the logo of the annual meeting of the forum from the front and side perspectives respectively.
Why is the name of the installation "Transformation"? The staff said: "Science and technology must be more good when moving forward. Sometimes when we change the path and perspective of the problem, we can see completely different results. ”
As the tour draws to a close, the surprises continue. The organizer revealed that the annual conference forum handbags provided to participants this year are customized with PHA bio-based biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials, and the participation certificates can also be safely recycled.
These "talking details" highlight the background of the sustainable development of a global scientific and technological innovation exchange and cooperation event, and also echo the theme of this forum's annual meeting: "Innovation: Building a Better World".
