Urban Hardware Needs Art Vitality

Wang Yonggang, a researcher and head of the Architectural Design Institute of the Chinese National Academy of Painting, believes that if a city is concerned, it is not all about hardware. It needs to look at software. Software, like hardware, even has actual influence beyond hardware. The city is good or bad, people like it or not, it is formed by software. Software is art and culture. It is a feeling that gives people a memory of many years. Public art can solve the best solution.

The event's curator and associate professor Zhou Jian of the School of Architecture at Tsinghua University believes that Qianhai's overall plan feels strong power and power, has a strong will, has a strong execution force, and needs a strong speed. In such a large environment, what it needs is a lot of artistic design that produces some effects with it.

Workshop Design Should Consider Shenzhen-Hong Kong Link

A number of Hong Kong architects and artists participated in the event. A Hong Kong architect believes that Qianhai is a place where Hong Kong and Shenzhen love and love each other and this place has a common dream.

Lu Yuanliang, an artist at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, believes that Qianhai is a region of Shenzhen-Hong Kong cooperation. Architects and artists can do some research to extract the concept of Hong Kong and Shenzhen, or the visual culture, or some elements, and then enter the concept of Qianhai.

Public art needs public participation

Cai Wenyu, a Hong Kong architect and curator, combined the importance of public participation in the exhibition project of the Shuiwei Village in Shenzhen. Her exhibition was very earthy, and she used the things she saw and used in the villages of the city to put it in the exhibition hall, making art a part of the public life.

The curator Shu Yang believes that the core of all public art is a reasonable result. It decides such a face of public art according to what kind of needs the government, the local government, the economy, and the designers want. Public arts are not all landmark or macroscopic, but also very artistic, flat or even very personal, or private graffiti cities in cities or public spaces.

Wang Yonggang introduced the public arts to the public's recognition and participation through various projects such as the Beijing 751 Art Zone. The Beijing 751 Art District is a cultural and creative industrial park transformed from an old factory. These cultural and creative industrial parks not only attracted many cultural and enterprising companies, they also became places where Beijing's fashion activities are intensively organized and where “literature youth” are rampant. They even become popular tourist destinations for Chinese and foreign tourists.

Providing facilities for the public

Zhou Hao believes that public art is public nature and its design is a local cause. It cannot be separated from the local environment at that time. He stressed that there are two basic conditions for this road and urban furniture workshop activity. First, it is functional and it is a functional public art. It must be related to the public's physical needs and the most important needs of the people. It does not emphasize The grand narrative focuses on providing facilities for the public to provide "small fortunes".

The second is the cooperation between artists and architects to enhance their artistry. Zhou Ye believes that true public art, which is part of the life that people can identify with, generates emotions. Such emotions are considered to be true public arts. The will of the public must be decided by voting, decided by capital, and decided by power. This is the reason why publicity can be established. “This presents a challenge, no matter how big your architects, artists or no matter how good you think your work is. But when you take it out and not persuade others, it is useless. Therefore, artists and architects collaborate Cross-breeding between different thoughts, gene mutations, and success."
