Jietai solid polycarbonate sheets created the iconic roof canopy for Nanjing Wuxiang Night Market, transforming the marketplace into a landmark destination that operates comfortably in all weather conditions while providing spectacular nighttime visual effects.
Project Overview
The Nanjing Wuxiang Night Market needed a distinctive roof canopy that would protect hundreds of vendors and thousands of daily visitors from weather while creating a memorable visual identity. The canopy had to become a landmark structure that would attract tourists and enhance the market’s reputation as a must-visit destination.
The Challenge
The market spans a large pedestrian zone with an irregular layout incorporating existing trees, street furniture, and building frontages. The roof structure needed excellent daytime light diffusion to keep the space bright without harsh shadows, while serving as an ideal substrate for nighttime LED lighting effects. Installation had to be phased to avoid disrupting market operations, with work carried out during late-night hours.
Our Solution
Jietai solid polycarbonate sheets in custom translucent colors were fabricated with a curved profile to create a wave-like roof form that has become the market’s signature architectural feature. The PC sheets offer outstanding light diffusion, eliminating harsh shadows while transmitting soft, even daylight. At night, integrated LED lighting illuminates the panels from within, creating a stunning visual display visible from surrounding streets.
Results
- Distinctive wave roof has become an iconic Nanjing landmark
- Visitor foot traffic increased by 50% since canopy installation
- Year-round market operations regardless of rain or intense sun
- Stunning nighttime lighting effects featured on social media
- Durable panels withstand high foot traffic and environmental exposure
