Research on Art Intervention Design Strategies from the Perspective of Urban Micro-Renewal in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area

JDSSI 2023, 1(3-4), 1-15; https://doi.org/10.59528/ms.jdssi2023.1217a10 - December 17, 2023

Abstract: The integration of urban micro-renewal and art intervention has important practical significance for urban renewal, urban agglomeration, regional cultural inheritance and innovation. Specific practices in South China satisfy local aspirations for a better life and promote regional connections in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Starting from the perspective of the micro-renewal of urban public space, this article explores the design strategy of art interventions in the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Greater Bay Area from three perspectives: cultural identity, regional connection and sustainable renewal. The article points out that the integration of micro-renewal and art intervention involves not only the renewal of physical space but also a design approach that deepens the understanding of regional culture, the recognition of identity, and the enhancement of regional connections, which is conducive to the coordinated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Abstract: This study examines the problems faced by decision-making regarding sustainable social innovation through field research in “villages on the urban fringe,” represented by the Southern Spring Town Historical District in Wuxi. On the premise of protecting urban diversity and cultural recognizability, the “wicked problem” factors that affect the protection and innovative design of the historical district and their framework are analysed by comparing the explicit and implicit factors of the district. This study finds that the residents of this district have undergone spontaneous renewal and changes driven by increasing foreign tourists. These changes are not the result of guidance by government planning and management, nor are they promoted by designers. Additionally, the residents of the Southern Spring Town Historical District generally recognize the unique value of the district’s historical and humanistic landscape. Self-driven power makes the residents’ meaning of environmental protection increase. They actively engage in catering and cultural business activities with Jiangnan regional features. Worries over the district’s lack of successors no longer exist, and a new hope for sustainable development has been gained. We believe that before using planning tools and design thinking to solve the problem of ageing historical districts under the trend of sustainable development, it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the actual operation of such districts and their real needs and to allow time and space for local residents to solve the “wicked problem” through self-regulation to ultimately achieve the long-term goal of district preservation and sustainable development in a balanced manner.

Abstract: The cognition of a good campus environment refers to the physical environment formed by planning and design, considering the function, reasonable layout and atmosphere of the space, and putting forward an implementation plan that can meet or exceed the teaching, learning and life needs of teachers and students, so that the campus has perfect overall characteristics. This paper takes university lecture halls as the research object, studies the spatial sound requirements and tests the acoustic quality control of these spaces, and attempts to explore the feasibility of using volcanic rocks as wall decoration materials. According to the characteristics and principles of sound transmission, combined with the present situation of the lecture hall and its original acoustic environment, a series of acoustic field experiments are implemented. By means of computer software simulation, the advantages of volcanic rock as wall decoration material in sound absorption effect and quality control are proved, and also its effect is better than other materials. Obviously, the computer simulation software is an applicable way in assisting the selection of interior wall decorative materials. Therefore, this study confirms the sound quality characteristics of volcanic rock materials and provides a feasible reference for those spaces requiring acoustic quality control in the future.
