Abstract

In the process of urban development, the background of the times is different, the needs of citizens are also changing, therefore, the concept of urban planning is constantly updated and improved. In order to make the traditional urban infrastructure and cultural content meet the needs of new citizens, urban renewal is imperative. Urban Renewal is not only embodied in the systematic project, but also in the micro-environment transformation. Micro-renewal is a convenient and concrete way to express the quality improvement of public space. Taking Beijing as an example, with the development of the city, the facilities and functions of the courtyard dwellings, which occupy the mainstream of the traditional architecture in the city, can no longer meet the needs of modern residents of the courtyard dwellings, through infrastructure upgrading and public art intervention to achieve the activation of the old space. This paper makes an in-depth study of the practical case of Nestle CAFÉ in Beijing, combs the relationship between public art and traditional courtyard dwellings from the perspective of art installation, and explores the possibility of public art becoming a medium of dialogue with traditional courtyard dwellings, and the function of the urban Micro-renewal which is carried to activate the old space. This paper demonstrates that public art is an effective mode of urban Micro-renewal.
