Public "living objects" in the urban landscape

Urban furniture is all the furniture that is placed in the city streets, at the edge of the road, on the pavement, or even as a public amenity on the road, and is a public 'living object' in the urban landscape.

It originated in Europe in the 1960s and was subsequently introduced in China. Specifically, urban furniture includes information facilities (wayfinding signs, guide maps, telephone booths, mailboxes), sanitation facilities (rubbish bins, water dispensers), lighting and safety facilities, recreational services (sitting furniture, tables, play equipment, kiosks), transport facilities (bus stops, carports) and artistic landscape facilities (sculptures, art objects).

"A collision of technology and individuality"

At the beginning of the 21st century major cities in developed Western countries have successively carried out activities to improve street furniture. In practice, these urban furniture make full use of highly sophisticated technology, reflect individuality and human-centred principles, emphasise the degree of public participation, fully respect the opinions of users, and develop corresponding maintenance and renewal measures, forming a more mature design category.

Case 1: Warde in Bloom - digital flowers activate old urban neighbourhoods

The flower installation at the Vallero Square roadside in Jerusalem was designed by HQ Architects as an initiative of the local government to improve the urban space. The installation does not resist the noisy environment, but instead tries to illuminate the urban space.

During the day, the flowers provide shade for the pedestrians beneath them, while at night, the flowers emit a faint light that becomes an interesting source of light in the square. Similarly, when the tram approaches the stop, the four flowers signal the pedestrians in the square to hurry up and catch the train. The four red flowers that strongly dominate the square create a friendly interaction with the city's inhabitants and bring a new sensory experience to the urban space.

Case 2: Lawn on D Swing Time - activating urban space

These 20 swinging swings, like giant glowing purple earrings, are an interactive urban installation designed by Eric Howeler and Meejin Yoon. Constructed from polypropylene, the swings have been designed in three scales to accommodate different city dwellers. the LED lighting is controlled by a bespoke microprocessor and the swings have a built-in accelerometer that measures the force of the swing's acceleration. When the force is stationary and the swing is stagnant, the LEDs emit a fused white light; when the swing vibrates, the white light transforms into a pale purple, creating a romantic atmosphere.

Urban furniture is one of the main material carriers of information about a city's social activities, history and culture, which explains the unique charm of a particular city and shows the city's unique urban culture and urban quality. The current aviation port experimental zone is in the key stage of "establishing a new city", high-quality urban furniture, not only from the image of the city to enhance the charm of the experimental zone, can enrich the residential experience of residents, enhance the sense of well-being, through which to achieve the city's refinement management is not a bad idea.
