Research on Key Theory and Internal Mechanism of Design Thinking in Public Art

Abstract

The research on the key theory of design thinking in public art involves the analysis of a mind work that cannot be observed by the naked eye. This research analyses the laws and characteristics of design thinking in public art through the study of various forms of creations and their internal mechanism. Research has shown that the internal mechanism of design thinking in public art occurs in the process of transformation between logic and imagination. The process of using language or words to describe an object requires logical thinking; whilst the process visualization of discrete object to fulfil one’s fantasy using experience, imagination, and simulation within the mind requires imagination. In the meantime, studying the role of visualization and viewpoint breakthrough in public art design thinking allows one to improve design thinking, create unique imagination and widen space for logical thinking. An in-depth analysis of the internal mechanism also provide opportunity for further improvement and strengthening.
