江南造船厂有着“中国第一厂”之称,始建于清同治四年（1865年）。 2010年5月1日至10月31日在上海市滨江地区将召开2010年上海世博会，吸引200多个国家和国际组织参展及7000万人次的参观者。上海世博会的园区内将会有近五分之一的建筑都是保留下来的老建筑，而位于世博园区内有着一百四十多年历史的江南造船厂里的大部分建筑将被保留，世博会期间将成为企业馆所在地。而世博会后则将被改建成上海城市的一个新亮点——中国近代工业博物馆群，被长久保留。到2010年，流光溢彩的世博园区内，老建筑与新建筑、钢筋铁骨和衣香鬓影、历史和未来交相辉映，这将是一幅“城市让生活更美好”的动人图景。
公共文化设施是公共文化活动的物质载体，也是文化发展和文明进步的实物标志。在市场经济条件下，要组织开展群众文化活动，满足公共文化需要，没有基本的公共文化设施是不行的。因此，对人民高度负责的国家政府，应该不断增加投入，逐步把各种公共文化设施建起来。但是，公共文化设施是公共文化活动的工具，不是装潢门面的摆设。任何公共文化设施的建设，都应该是以充分而有效的使用为基本目的的。而使用的主要途径和有效方式，就是利用公共文化设施，经常不断地组织开展群众文化活动，满足群众的文化需要。只有使用好公共文化设施，才能现自身的社会价值，公共文化服务单位才有理由要求建设更多的公共文化设施。如果为建而建，只建不用，或多建少用，那么，再多再好的公共文化设施也没有什么实际意义。 公交车站是我们平常接触频率比较高的公共设施之一，然而平时的我们就算站在公交车站下面也很少去考虑 公交车站的设计理念，又或者是公交车站除了让人在此等车外还具有什么功能所以此次的调研目的除了分析车站本身的设计理念外，还会调研分析它的周边环境。如公交车站周围的人文环境、地理背景以及它周围的文化气息。同时也会分析它们相互之间的影响。
人体工程学其含义为：以人为主体，运用人体计测、生理、心理计测等手段和方法，研究人体结构功能、心理、力学等方面与室内环境之间的合理协调关系，以适合人的身心活动要求，取得最佳的使用效能，其目标应是安全、健康、高效能和舒适。 在设计中起着重要的角色，作为设计者来说必须把人体工程学考虑进设计方案中，因为当今社会发展向后工业社会、信息社会过渡，重视“以人为本”，为人服务，人体工程学强调从人自身出发，在以人为主体的前提下研究人们衣、食、住、行以及一切生活、生产活动中综合分析的新思路。
上海当代艺术馆原址为人民公园内一个温室。不仅在建馆过程中，保留了场馆的外部玻璃墙，还在场馆内部則进行大规模重建。这样场馆既保留其优越的自然照明条件以及公园的卓越景观，同时在增设多项设施后也满足了博物馆的专业要求。虽说是这样但是整个建筑的造型却很现代，也为人民公园里多增了几分色彩。是一座介于现有和新造的建筑。原本的建筑体由于政策考量不好拆，但是，每个参与的人都希望看到一座被重新赋予生命力的新建筑；它既在城市里，又在一座公园中，它的设计就追求一种建筑语汇与空间的“双重性”和一个介于两种状态之间的“过渡性”；它既是现实的，又因为特殊的功能而具有隐喻性，在南面上海博物馆和西边上海美术馆这两个展示不同历史时期艺术作品的官方机构的毗邻下，人们也许更关注它里面发生的事而不仅仅是这一个物质空间实体。
它设计的突破点就在于将一个旧的温室改为了博物馆。原来的玻璃花房对阳光的需要和未来的艺术展览要把光线控制到最低的需求之间是冲突的。所以设计者需要需要给它加表皮，但又不能破坏公园本身的景观。首先，在入口和三楼加建了数个比较突出的几何玻璃体，来冲击柔化旧玻璃房原来笨拙的造形。在右侧原来的辅助式建筑——水泥房部分，用斜着排列的“蒙古黑”花岗岩外墙配合了同样斜列的不锈钢窗，体现出另一种含蓄而与众不同的外观。这结果既不仅仅是装修，也不完全是单纯的加建，而是在保留原结构体的条件下做彻底的改头换面。轻盈的玻璃与厚重的花岗岩之间的对比、张力，可以让人们注意到这个原来不起眼的地方。
陆俨少艺术院于1991年10月建成，1999年6月正式开院。2004年9月二期扩建，扩建后分别由东西两幢主楼和行政楼组成，总建筑面积2319平方米，展览业务面积1206平方米。东楼是主要展览场所，底层为综合展厅，有先进的防火防盗设施和温控恒湿设备以及随意分割的活动展板，可举办国画、油画、雕塑等各种展览。二楼为院藏陆俨少精品长期展览展示厅，陈列陆俨少的书画作品和资料，西楼由小型展厅、沙龙和培训中心组成，举行小型观摩活动和高层次艺术交流的理想场所。
展示的方式也有不同，这里的展览分为三部分一楼展示的大多是字画，以悬挂的方式展示给游客看，清晰明了。同时玻璃也起到了保护的作用，将湿气和部分空气隔绝，既不会破坏物件的展示同时也起到了保护的作用，一举两得。
人民公园总面积10万平方米，设计上主张以人为本，定位于自然，充分体现现代园林风格。园内以植物造景为主，提倡生物多样性，注重植物新品引进，大量布置花灌木和色叶木。园内既有海棠园、翠碧湖、荷花池、西山瀑布等传统景观区域，又有玉兰园、百花园等色彩鲜艳、情调浪漫的现代景观区域，是一座具有综合性休闲功能的公园。东面活动区，以活动内容为主，内设有儿童园、健身锻炼场、茶室、草地、花坛等；西区游览区，地形复杂多样，有假山、水池、水榭等，以静观为主，供游客、休息游览散步、欣赏风景、荷花观鱼等。
概述整个公园的设计，都是以自然，人为本的，所有的环境小品都是以结合自然原有的环境而设计的，就如前面的鹅卵石石池，具有异域风情的餐厅，当代艺术馆等，还有周边那些不起眼的小径。每个细节都贴合着主题及周边环境，就连不起眼的小径也在涉及范围内，突破传统的水泥地设计，而是将小石块排列成小径，让人们有融入大自然的感觉，在公园的任意一个角落都能感受到轻松愉悦的心情。
健康乐园是一个具有开放性的环境小品，它位于人民公园内设计结合了周围的环境，不仅师法自然有具有创新的设计理念。结合了自然环境，用鹅卵石铺成的椭圆形石池，不仅突出了自然的理念还与环境相融合，还诱发了人们的情趣及想象力。还不只这样，健康乐园也没有什么特定的入口，是用块石头堆成的两三级台阶，它的设计结合了当今社会崇尚健康环保的理念，用的是天然的鹅卵石，模仿的是溪流的造型，设计具有创星意义，突破了传统的河流的设计有河道但流的不是溪水而是改为鹅卵石仿生态设计。更有意思的是在石池里还零散的纺织了几块大的石块是模仿溪流中的石块的，但是在这里却成为了天然座椅，突出了设计师崇尚自然的观念，提升了大众的审美情趣。

Jiangnan Shipyard, known as "the first factory in China", was founded in the forth year of Qing Emperor Tongzhi (in 1865).
World Expo 2010 will be held in Shanghai Binjiang from 1st May 2010 to 31st Oct 2010. More than 200 countries and international organizations will participate in it and it will attract 7, 000,000 visitors. In World Expo Park nearly one fifth of the buildings are old buildings. Most of the buildings of Jiangnan Shipyard in Expo Park which has a history of more than 140 years will be retained as the location of Corporate Pavilions in the event of World Expo, and after the world Expo will be converted into a new highlight of Shanghai-China’s modern industry museums and retained over a long period of time. In 2010, old and new buildings, reinforced steel and cramp iron and fragrant clothing and temple image, history and future all add radiance and beauty to each other in the brilliant World Expo Park, which is a touching picture of "Better City, Better Life".
Station
Public cultural facilities are the physical carrier of public cultural activities and the physical mark of cultural development and civilization progress. In market economy, basic public cultural facilities are necessary for carrying out mass cultural activities to meet public cultural needs. Therefore, the national government highly responsible to its people should increase ceaselessly the investment to establish the various public cultural facilities gradually. However, public cultural facilities act as the tools of public cultural activities but not as the displays for facade decoration. The establishing of any public cultural facilities should regard full and effective utilization as the basic goal. The main way and effective pattern of utilization is to carry out mass cultural activities regularly with the purpose to meet mass cultural needs via public cultural facilities. Only when these facilities are well utilized, can social value of public cultural facilities be realized, so the public cultural service units will have the reason to call for more establishments. More and better public cultural facilities make no practical sense if they are to be established only for establishment, not to be used after establishment, or more to be established with less utilization.
Bus stop is one of the public cultural facilities which we contact more in daily life, but even when standing under it, we give little thought to its design concept and other functions besides letting people wait there. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to analyze not only the design concept of bus stop but also its surrounding environment relating to humanistic environment, geographical background and cultural atmosphere around it as well as the interactions with one another of the said surrounding environment.
Ergonomics
The meaning of the ergonomics is: with human beings as principal focus, to research the reasonable and coordinated relationships between indoor environment and structure and function, psychology, mechanics etc. of human body by ways and means of body measurement, physiology and psychology measurement so as to suit for human body and mind activities and realize best effectiveness in utilization with a goal of security, health, high effectiveness and comfort.
Ergonomics plays a very important role in designing, and the designer must consider it into the design plan because today our society is transiting to the post industrial society and the information society, pay attention to “taking people as oriented” and providing services for people. Ergonomics emphasizes a new concept that to proceed from human beings and study clothing, food, housing, transportation of human beings and comprehensively analyze all living and production activities with human beings remaining dominant.
In fact, human-matter-environment is a system with human, matter and environment closely linked. In future, ergonomics may be used to dominate the living environment actively and effectively.
Exhibition
Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art
MoCA Shanghai was built on the site of a greenhouse in People's Park. In the process of building, outer glass wall had been preserved and the inner of the museum had been rebuilt on a large scale. Therefore, the museum kept its superior natural lighting conditions and excellent landscape of the park, at the same time, the added various facilities met the professional requirement of the museum. Though be such, the whole architectural shape is very modern and adds bright color to People's Park. It mediates between existing building and new building. The original building can not be easily demolished due to the policy consideration, but everyone involved wishes to see a building given new vitality. It is both in a city and a park. The design goes after the duality of architecture language and space as well as the transition between two states. It is realistic but metaphorical because of its special function. With the Shanghai Museum to the south and Shanghai Arts Gallery to the west, two official agencies which display art works in different historical periods, people may pay more attention to what happens in it but not the material space entity.
The breakthrough of the design is converting an old greenhouse into a museum. Sunshine requirement of the glass greenhouse conflicts with the minimum light requirement of the art exhibition. The designers need to add outer skin but can not damage the landscape of the park. First, a series of outstanding geometric glass volumes were added at the entrance and the third floor, dissolving the clumsy shape of the original glass greenhouse. For the original auxiliary building on the right, the cement room, outer wall of Mongolia Black granite arranged sideways is adopted to coordinate with the stainless steel windows which are arranged sideways too, reflecting an implicit and unique appearance. This is not decorating or adding simply, but the complete change that under the condition of reserving the original structure. Contrast and tension between lightsome glass and thick granite bring attention to this unnoticeable place originally.
Lu Yanshao Art Academy
Lu Yanshao Art Academy is located in Jiading, a famous historical and cultural town of Shanghai, and it is the only artistic museum within Jiading area.
Lu Yanshao Art Academy is established in October, 1991 and is officially opened in June, 1999. The second-stage expansion project begun in September 2004, and the Art Academy is composed of the east and west main buildings and the administrative building after expansion, with the gross building area of 2319 m2 and the exhibition work area of 1206 m2. The east main building is the main exhibition ground. The first floor of the east main building is a comprehensive exhibition hall equipped with advanced facilities for fire control, theft prevention, temperature control and temperature-controlling thermostatic equipment, as well as movable display boards that can be divided at will, and various exhibitions such as traditional Chinese painting exhibition, oil painting exhibition and sculpture exhibition etc. could be held there. The second floor is a long-term exhibition hall for the excellent works of Lu Yanshao that are collected by the Art Academy, and is used for displaying the paintings and calligraphy works of and the materials about Lu Yanshao. The west main building is composed of small-scale exhibition hall, salon and training centre, and it is an ideal place for small-scale observation activities and high level art exchanges.
Compared with the commercial exhibition space, museum exhibition with soft lighting, transparent glass and extremely large exhibition space is mostly adopted for the artistic exhibition.
Also, the mode of exhibition varies. The exhibition here is divided into three parts: most exhibits on the first floor are calligraphy and painting which are hung for exhibition and are absolutely clear to the visitors. At the same time, the glass plays a role as protection in isolating the works from moisture and part of air, and it can not spoil the exhibition of the works but also can protect them, with double benefit.
Landscapes
Environmental sketches of the People’s Park
The gross area of the People’s Park is 100,000 m2. Its design follows the proposal of “People Oriented”, pitches on nature and fully presents the style of modern gardens. The park gives priority to plant landscape, advocates biological diversity, attaches importance to the introduction of new plant and arranges a large quantity of flower bushes and color-leaved woody plants. There are Crabapple Garden, Bicui Lake, Lotus Pond, West Mountain Waterfall and other traditional landscape areas as well as Magnolia Denudate Garden, Spring Garden and other modern landscape areas which are bright in color and romantic in sentiment in the park. The People’s Park has the function of comprehensive relaxation. The activity area in the east gives priority to activity and there are Children’s House, fitness exercise space, tearoom, meadow, parterre and others; the excursion area in the west has a complex and various landforms and there are rockery, pool, waterside pavilion and others, and it gives priority to position viewing, providing the visitors with resting, sightseeing, walking, landscape appreciating, fish viewing landscapes.
Health Paradise
Health Paradise is a stone pool with elliptic type. It is called a stone pool for there are thickly dotted pebble stones. It is said that walking on the stones could massage the acupoint on the pelma and is beneficial to your fitness.
To summarize the design of the whole park, it follows a concept of “Nature First” and “People Oriented”. All the environmental sketches are designed by combining with the original environment of nature, such as the pebble stone pool mentioned above, restaurant in amorous feelings of foreign lands, contemporary art gallery and others as well as inconspicuous pathway around. Every detail conforms to the theme and the surroundings, and even the inconspicuous pathway is also involved. The pathway breaks the traditional design manner and arranges small stones into the pathway, which allows people to have a feeling of being adapted to nature and have a relaxed and delighted mood in every corner of the park.
Health Paradise, which locates in the Peoples’ park, is an environmental sketch with openness. It combines the design manner with the surroundings, which imitates nature and possesses innovative design concepts. Also, it combines the design manner with natural environment. The elliptic stone pool paved by pebble stones not only highlights the natural concept but also merges with the environment, and furthermore induces people’s temperament and interest and imagination. Moreover, the Health Paradise has no specific entrance and there are just steps of two or three stairways piled up with stones. It combines the design concept of health and environmental protection which is advocated by society nowadays. The stones used to pile up the steps are natural pebble stones and imitates the mold of streams, which has a design of innovative meaning and breaks through the traditional river design. The “river” has a watercourse, however, what “flows” in it is not stream but pebble stones which is designed with imitation of ecology. More interestingly, there are several stones scattered in the stone pool, which imitates stone in the stream. But the stones here are natural seats that highlight the designers’ natural sense and enhance people’s aesthetic interest.
Rockery Labyrinth & Bicui Lake
There is a landscape similar to rockery on the other side of the Mid-lake Pavilion. In fact, it is a labyrinth. If you climb up it along the steps, there will be more than one exits waiting for you. And there are many children here playing a game named “Hide and Seek”.
The landscape is of subtle design that changes the landscape into a place for fun by direct use of original landscape, adding interest into the park. The design manner does not violate the environment and the surrounding landscapes; on the contrary, it better highlights the theme with natural scene. The landscape here forms a type of contrast about quietness and motion with its surrounding landscapes, and people also have fun and pleasure in it.
