Abstract：This paper reviews the development of China’s foreign aid and foreign aid architecture from the 1950s to the 1970s, focusing on the relationship between the aesthetics of foreign aid architecture and its political implications. It aims to interpret the connotation and meaning of the “Chinese model”in foreign aid through architectural lenses. From the perspective of history of knowledge, it analyses the development and evolution of the design knowledge system of foreign aid architecture and its transnational flows, whilst focusing on the influence of Western modernist architectural trends on Chinese foreign aid architecture from 1964 to 1976. Taking the Tanzania-Zambia Railway Terminus in Dar es Salaam as the primary example, it reveals the“Chineseness”of Chinese foreign aid architecture in the aspects of both aesthetics and politics. Through historical research, formal analysis and cross-cultural comparison, it discusses the contemporary value of Chinese foreign aid architecture of that period as an intellectual heritage.
