Study On The Design Strategy Of Modern Urban Street Furniture Based On The Catalyst Theory

Under the background of transformation of urban development mode,people are increasingly concerned about the improvement of urban environment,the enhance of quality of life and the embodiment of urban spirit.Street furniture are closely linked with people's daily life,they are not only providing the most immediate services for people's outdoor recreation activities,but also bearing the responsibility of shaping the city image and building the place spirit.With the application and popularization of science and technology,driven by development construction of social economic and urban cultural,people put forward new demands on street furniture,including function and service,culture and image,space and place,operation and management.It is a valuable research issue about how to make urban street furniture rely on their intrinsic and external advantages,then to promote the street environments and stimulate the vitality of the city.This paper introduces the "city catalyst" theory to the street furniture design,discusses the feasibility and methods of how to turn the street furniture into city catalysts.Then constructs the design strategies of modern urban street furniture based on the "city catalyst" theory,hoping these strategies can provide some theoretical reference for street furniture design practice.And hoping through the street furniture catalyst effect,gradually triggers a more extensive activation and linkage to promotes the urban life,environment,spirit and so on.The first chapter is the introduction part.Mainly introduces the origin of the research and defines the relevant concepts.Moreover,the paper combs and summarizes the research status at home and abroad,and clarifies the purpose and significance,methods and contents of the research.Then constructs the research framework of the paper.This chapter lays the foundation for the orderly development of the article.The second chapter is the research part of the basic theory.Firstly,expounds the concept?types?mechanism and characteristics of the "city catalyst" theory.Secondly,based on the theory mentioned above,this paper analyzes the catalyst characteristics?catalyst elements?driving factors and design objectives of street furniture in details.The third chapter is the research and analysis part.On the one hand,through investigation and observation of street furniture in the selected streets to find the existing problems in the modern urban street furniture in China.On the other hand,through the questionnaire survey and quantitative analysis to understand users' satisfaction degree.Then,evaluating the catalyst effect of urban street furniture by synthesize the two factor.This chapter makes a good groundwork for the following research.The fourth chapter is the construction of the strategy.Under the guidance of the "city catalyst" theory,this article established in the existing problems and combined with the excellent practice cases in domestic and overseas,then constructs the design strategies of modern urban street furniture in China from five aspects: strengthening functions,repairing the culture,improving the image,the overall resonance and multi direction.The fifth chapter is the concluding part.Paper draws the main conclusions through summarize the full text.After that,analyzes the deficiencies and follow-up study in the research.
