Weiwuying National Art and Culture Center is a public cultural building that has just been built in our country. It is located in Fengshan District, Kaohsiung City, adjacent to Weiwuying Metropolitan Park. The building covers 4 important art performance spaces, the Grand Theater, the Concert Hall, the Recital Hall, the Chinese Theater, and an open-air theater. Now let's talk about the story of architecture, Ms. Francine, the chief architect of Mecanoo in the Netherlands, her design was inspired by the ecological image of the old banyan tree living in groups. The old banyan trees living in groups have tangled branches and intertwined roots. Light and shadow create a mutual reflection between the virtual and the real from the gaps between the trees, which stimulates the organic shape of the penetrating, dynamic and streamlined buildings of Weiwuying. The design of the building is to use the upper and lower skins of two huge free-form surfaces to wrap six large spaces with different building functions. Each space is cylindrical and has its own function and mechanical requirements. The public floor plan connects to form the building's top lobby and cloister.

而此構造系統又稱筒中筒(Tube in Tube)構造,實由兩側筒狀結構與外側網狀構架結合成一座拱形立體構造。其中右側之內筒構造為拱頂結構,除了作為會議中心之構架系統外,結構上亦為屋面的主要支撐之一;左側的內筒構造為大跨距且具挑高樓層的梁柱構架,建築主要規劃為展場之用途,其構架與屋面結合,並以外部網狀構架與右側內筒結合成一整體之構造,也就是筒中筒(Tube in Tube)構造。由於此建築規劃包含挑高樓層、大跨距空間、展覽空間之高承載需求和不規則流線屋頂造型,屬於特殊結構,故宜採用鋼骨構造,取其輕量、製作彈性多變等特性,達到經濟、安全,並充分融入建築美學之最佳構造。
