Flexibility Meets Durability: Justone Stone Revolutionizes Kangqiao High’s Outer Walls

Among the educational buildings, Kangqiao High School has always been a cultural landmark. However, under the erosion of time, the traditional stone exterior walls have gradually revealed hidden dangers: cracks spreading, boards falling off, threatening the safety of teachers and students, and repeated repairs causing the building to lose its aesthetic unity. In 2024, a "exterior wall revolution" led by Justone flexible stone will give this old school a vitality that transcends the times.

Challenge: The 'Pain of the Outer Walls' of a Century Old School
The original exterior wall of Kangqiao High School is facing three challenges:

Safety crisis: the freezing thawing cycle led to granite hollowing, and partial falling off occurred in rainstorm;

Maintenance dilemma: The curved clock tower cannot be fitted with traditional stone, and the color difference is obvious when repaired;

Cultural fragmentation: The exterior wall style of the newly added teaching building conflicts with the original historical building.

What we need is not only new materials, but also the continuation of the soul of educational architecture. "- Head of the School Infrastructure Department

Why Kangqiao High Chose Justone Flexible Stone

Kangqiao High’s decision to use Justone Flexible Stone was driven by the need for a material that could withstand the test of time while offering an aesthetic that reflects the school's commitment to innovation. The choice of Justone Stone was not just about visual appeal; it was about durability, sustainability, and functionality.

1. Durability
   The school’s outer walls face constant exposure to the elements—rain, wind, and sun. Traditional materials often suffer from wear and tear, requiring costly maintenance. Justone Flexible Stone, however, is designed to endure harsh conditions without cracking or fading, ensuring the building retains its beauty for years to come.

2. Flexibility in Design
   Justone Stone’s adaptability allows for a variety of design possibilities. For Kangqiao High, this meant incorporating intricate patterns, textures, and colors that complement the modern educational environment. Whether it’s the sleek finish of the facade or the custom shapes that fit the unique architecture, Justone Stone provides architects with creative freedom.

3. Sustainability
   As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor in modern construction, Justone Flexible Stone stands out for its environmentally friendly properties. The production process of Justone Stone involves minimal waste and energy consumption, making it a sustainable choice for eco-conscious institutions.

Design Awakening: When History Meets the Future
Bishop's Building: Reproducing the original granite texture, preserving a sense of historical weight from a distance, and providing a soft and collision resistant touch up close;

Clock Tower Landmark: Flexible stone achieves spiral surface relief, presenting three-dimensional water curtain light and shadow on rainy days;

New Science and Technology Museum: The metal base is directly pasted with cold limestone patterns, creating an aesthetic dialogue between old and new buildings.

The educational architecture critic exclaimed, "This is a technological sublimation of the concept of 'repairing the old as it is'

Conclusion: A redefinition of "resilience"
The butterfly transformation of Kangqiao High School proves that the "durability" of architecture does not need to come at the cost of heaviness, and "flexibility" is not synonymous with fragility. Justone flexible stone uses the power of technology to reconcile this contradiction, allowing century old prestigious schools to be reborn in lightness and remain evergreen in flexibility.
