RESEARCH ON SUSTAINABLE PUBLIC ART INSTALLATION DESIGN BASED ON INNOVATIVE APPROACHES: A CASE STUDY OF SOLID FOUNDATION, STRONG WALLS AT ZHONGSHAN TALENT PARK

Abstract

Against the dual backdrop of accelerating global urbanization and mounting ecological pressures, the sustainability of public art installations as vital carriers of urban culture has emerged as a core issue at the intersection of contemporary art and urban planning. Building upon the doctoral dissertation Innovative Research on Interactive Public Art Installations: A Case Study of “Solid Foundation, Strong Walls” at Zhongshan Talent Park, this study focuses on its third research objective “Designing Sustainable Public Art Installations Using Innovative Methods.” Through literature review, mixed-method research, and interdisciplinary theoretical integration, it systematically explores the design principles and technical pathways for sustainable public art installations. Guided by the triadic mechanism of technology-culture-governance (TCG), this study employs the STEAM design model and utilizes Zhongshan Talent Park as a practical field. Virtual simulations demonstrate the design outcomes, providing practical references for the sustainable development of future public art installations.
