My father used to work and live in Africa, and I have been very passionate about Africa since I was young. When I heard about this project being in Africa, I was eager to give it a try. "Chinese architect Tang Wensheng said of the Central African Cultural and Art Center, which he was responsible for creating and designing, once again showcasing the inheritance of friendship between China and Africa. On the Victory Avenue in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, lies the People's Palace and Martyrs' Stadium, which were built with Chinese assistance in the 1970s and 1980s. Across the street from it, a highly anticipated new cultural palace - the Central African Cultural and Art Center - is under construction. The People's Palace is the seat of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) parliament, and the Martyrs' Stadium, which can accommodate 80000 people, often hosts major events. "Congo's Minister of State and Minister of Infrastructure and Public Works, Mowuni, said that the Central African Cultural and Art Center is" another shining business card for cooperation between the two countries. The Central South Architectural Design Institute, where Tang Wensheng is located, is headquartered in Wuhan and is responsible for the design of the Central African Cultural and Art Center. Entering Tang Wensheng's office, the reporter saw design drawings and panoramic renderings, presenting the "clever ideas" of the main buildings in the center, such as the theater and school buildings. The main body of this building consists of a cultural center and the National Academy of Arts in the Democratic Republic of Congo, including a 2000 seat grand theater, an 800 seat small theater, and a National Academy of Arts campus that can accommodate 2000 students. Among them, the exterior design of the core building cultural center is unique, resembling a round African drum. Tang Wensheng learned about the appearance of African drums from his father's description when he was young. In the 1980s, his father worked as a Chinese engineer to aid in the construction of a farm in Somalia. Since then, the stories of African customs and friendly exchanges between the Chinese and African people have left a deep impression on Tang Wensheng's heart. In Chinese culture, circles symbolize reunion, "Tang Wensheng said. The shape of the cultural center integrates the cultural and artistic concepts of China and Africa, symbolizing the friendship between China and Africa for generations. The design of the National Academy of Arts in the Democratic Republic of Congo also has a charm of "Sino African fusion". The Chinese design team has found through repeated research that using traditional Chinese courtyards and wind and rain corridors can make the spatial layout of school buildings more suitable for the local climate and environment. Chinese architectural culture emphasizes courtyards, and in Africa we make them narrow courtyards, "Tang Wensheng said. Narrow and long courtyards can use the mutual shielding between buildings to create a cool and pleasant courtyard space. According to the design plan, the different departments of the National Academy of Arts are not only enclosed independent courtyards, but also interconnected through long wind and rain corridors. The wind and rain corridor has both rain and sun protection functions, and the combination of narrow courtyard and corridor is suitable for the local climate environment of high temperature, rain, and strong sunlight. The concept of integrating and learning from each other, and adapting to local conditions is ubiquitous in the design and construction of cultural and artistic centers in Central Africa: some walls continue to use hollowed out lattice bricks commonly found in local buildings, which have the effect of ventilation and heat dissipation. The integration of traditional Chinese auspicious patterns adds more elegance and interest; The exterior facade of the building is designed to use the river sand from the Congo River as the "main force" of the exterior wall coating, presenting a rustic style with strong regional characteristics; Congo (Kinshasa) Copper Mine Resources
