Curtain wall is a building envelope composed of decorative panel materials and supporting skeleton, which is simply the outer skin (facade) of the building. "Design" brings temperature, humanistic feelings and artistic value to the original single and cold building skin, and brings the enjoyment of beauty. Mr. Liang Shuguang, President of Zhejiang Zhongnan architectural curtain wall design and Research Institute, is a big fan in the architectural curtain wall design industry. Let's listen to his "curtain wall" story.

For 30 years, interpret the craftsman spirit from the beginning to the end

Liang Shuguang is the "leading goose" of Zhejiang Zhongnan curtain wall design and Research Institute.

In July 1994, after graduating from the Department of fine arts of Shanghai Textile University, Liang Shuguang joined Zhejiang Zhongnan Architectural Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd. and learned to cut materials for doors and windows in the aluminum alloy workshop with the passing of workers and teachers. For Liang Shuguang, who has no knowledge of science and engineering, there is no doubt that he is separated from each other. However, with a willingness to bear hardships and be good at studying, Liang Shuguang soon mastered the essentials of operation and became the all-round backbone of the workshop. Although he was very hard and tired, he felt full of spirit.

"More than a year in the workshop was very helpful to my growth, which made me have an intuitive understanding of what curtain walls, doors and windows are. The design should finally fall to the ground. You should really turn the things on paper into real objects. Without on-site training, your design is a castle in the air." Recalling his life more than 20 years ago, Liang Shuguang is still grateful.

In a flash, nearly 30 years have passed, and President Liang has always maintained this hard work. From the beginning to the end, he has interpreted the strategic thought of "building a business with integrity and innovative development" advocated by Chairman Wu Jianrong, the founder of Central South China, and the spirit of curtain wall craftsmen.

Do a good job in every project

Liang Shuguang always keeps in mind "strive to forge ahead, explore and innovate", shares weal and woe with the enterprise, loves his post and dedication, works steadfastly, and works with team members to develop the decoration curtain wall company from an unknown small enterprise into the top three in China, and build the curtain wall design Institute into one of the best design brands in China. In order to master the first-hand information, he eats and lives with the workers and masters in the workshop. He goes to the construction site and workshop in the daytime and takes time to draw pictures in the evening. As small as the installation of a screw, he has to study and discuss repeatedly to find a better solution. What impressed him most was that in 1996, when he was still on family leave, he received an urgent task from the company and rushed back to Hangzhou to participate in the curtain wall design and construction of Jinjiang building. Under the background of almost no reference cases, he completed the design and installation of each 19 mm thick, nearly 500 kg and 1.2 m * 8.5 m glass.

Scientific and technological innovation - Digital visualization helps enterprises innovate and develop

Digitization is a new ecology to meet the needs of human life. From the perspective of enterprises, the purpose of digital transformation is to improve competitiveness and efficiency. In terms of visualization, the original intention is to solve the user's pain points, reduce the customer's drawing cost and truly present the project effect.

Liang Shuguang has a pair of strategic vision. Many enterprises are unwilling to increase investment in R & D. Liang Shuguang bucked the trend and boldly decided to organize people to engage in R & D. In order to unify our thinking and enhance our confidence, he said meaningfully: "no matter how noisy the world is, the craftsman's heart must remain quiet. We should be good at looking at product quality with a microscope and R & D innovation with a telescope. In the face of the new connotation of architectural design given by the times, we have to use R & D innovation to achieve it first before it can achieve ourselves." Simple and simple words make employees understand the profound truth: to do a good job, we must have a state of mind without distractions and focus consistently. Eager for success and quick success run counter to the word "ingenuity".

In the following years, we developed many good systems and created many excellent projects. Some products have reached the third generation and are very popular after they are put on the market. R & D has brought high brand value. With the advent of the development momentum of building digitization, their team has established a digital team to invest in the digital design and research of curtain wall. All digital visualization technology is widely praised at home and abroad, and orders continue to be made one after another.

New economy, new situation and new development - be an industry platform for the whole life cycle of curtain wall

The design institute has transformed from a traditional design enterprise to an innovative technology company. In terms of design, through the upgrading of software tools to achieve one click drawing, shorten the design cycle and reduce the dependence on basic manual design work, the future digital prospect is worth looking forward to.

In 2018, Liang Shuguang put forward a new strategic goal: to be a leader in the whole life cycle of curtain wall design industry! One is the whole life cycle and the other is the industry leader. Compared with these two keywords, Liang Shuguang and his team move forward bravely to a higher goal.

Development of curtain wall design industry and humanized management of President Liang

Projects in the industry are increasing, but curtain wall practitioners leave curtain wall design posts for various reasons. With the announcement of the Ministry of human resources and social security on the professional recognition of curtain wall designers, it will play a positive role in promoting the evaluation of curtain wall design titles. The release of the recognition announcement will enhance the value of the design end, which is conducive to enhancing the value of the whole industrial chain and realizing the virtuous circle of the industry.

The curtain wall design industry will change in the future, so that creative and conceptual designers will get more development space, and design tools will also replace some of the basic drawing and design work. Future designers are more like R & D personnel to promote mature, stable and high-quality curtain wall products to the market.

President Liang's guiding principle

"Zhongnan curtain wall design institute should not only produce high-quality design products, but also design elites!" This is Liang Shuguang's mission. He is determined to build Zhongnan curtain wall design institute into a "Huangpu Military Academy" inheriting ingenuity, comprehensively improve the comprehensive quality of technicians, cultivate more technical talents, provide them with development space and improve the overall strength of the company. Therefore, the curtain wall technology training college of the design institute came into being in 2017.

The apprenticeship culture implemented by Zhongnan curtain wall design institute has formed a system. As soon as new college students enter the Design Institute, excellent masters selected by the Institute will pair up with new employees one-on-one. The masters not only teach technology, but also pass on ideas and work style. The national education department fully affirmed their "teacher and apprentice culture" after investigating them. Cultivating talents without sticking to one pattern has rapidly improved the practical operation ability of new employees and stimulated the innovative R & D thinking of old employees.

Liang Shuguang believes that it is not enough to rely on feelings alone to retain people, but also to make employees don't want to go and don't want to go with generous treatment, so that employees can have a sense of happiness and belonging here. To this end, they learned from Huawei's experience and launched the "fear of loss" strategy. That is: how much annual salary can you get here? Once you leave here, it's difficult to have such treatment again. At the same time, the design institute has also specially built college students' apartments to ensure that new employees can have housing as soon as they enter the design institute. This is also a big temptation for employees.

Devote your life to the curtain wall

In the 15 years since he entered the curtain wall industry, this student from rural Henan has contributed his blood to his beloved career, and worked with his colleagues to develop Zhongnan curtain wall company into a national large curtain wall decoration enterprise with an annual output value of nearly 1 billion yuan. Facing the achievements and honors, he said faintly: "I am a communist, so I must go ahead."
