文化融合

宁夏国际会议中心在近来一次国际性设计大赛中获奖。作为宁夏总体发展规划的核心环节，宁夏国际会议中心将成为华中地区首要的会议、展览、和演艺中心，也将成为宁夏市的建筑地标。这一标志性建筑秉承地方文化理念，同时兼具浓郁的伊斯兰风格，标志着两种文化的融合。建筑将中国传统隐喻手法与伊斯兰艺术图案相结合，形成了两大文化之间的和谐交融。

建筑的设计理念源于中国文化元素以及阿拉伯文化元素。以圆形和方形为基础。无论是在中国文化中还是在阿拉伯文化中，纯粹几何学都始终有着重大影响。例如，在中国，古钱币就象征着天（圆）与地（方）之间的和谐。而在穆斯林文化中，圆与方的结合被称为曼荼罗图案，是物质世界与精神世界相结合的媒介。

A Union of Cultures

Recently awarded through and international design competition, the new Ningxia International Conference Center will be the premier meeting, exposition, and performance center in central China as the heart of the Ningxia master plan development. The building will be an architectural landmark in the city. Rooted with concepts of local culture, yet conveying a strong Islamic identity, this iconic structure will symbolize the collaboration between the two worlds. Inspired by ancient Chinese metaphors and strong Islamic artistic patterns, this center becomes a harmonious merging of both cultures.

The design concept is inspired by both Chinese and Arabic cultural elements. The primary concept is the use of the circle and the square. In both cultures, pure geometries have had significant influence throughout history. In China, the ancient coin, for example, is a strong metaphor for harmony between heaven (the circle) and earth (the square). In the Muslim culture, the combination of the circle and the square is called the Mandala motif, and is recognized as the unifying intermediary between the materialism and the spiritual world.
