Abstract. Based on the design of urban public environment, this article exposed in public places
spirit weak environment, low level of public art works flood, design issues such as ecological
awareness is weak, with common characteristics and installation art and environmental design
combined advantages of the above issues raised optimized solutions. Studies using art installations
in urban public environment is designed to solve some of the problems or improve the environment
in urban public today exposed as the ultimate goal. This article briefly describes the relationship
between environment and application of ceramics.

Introduction
Environmental design and art will be in a winding way affect each other along. Environment
(human environment + natural environment) to provide material for the arts and the occurrence
conditions of artistic creation more borrowing in the natural environment, human environment is
also an important motivation for the development of arts, the environment itself is also from an
artistic point of view to understand the sidelines, and so on, two relations close and subtle. Although
the environmental design disciplines involved more, but sometimes change the development of an
artistic genre or art form might generate widespread environmental design far-reaching impact.
Whether it is formal or philosophy, art environmental design offers many possibilities to explore
beyond our imagination and presence, using study art installations in urban public environment that
is based on the environment designed to provide new possibilities of a practice summary and
Exploration.
Since the mid-20th century, a number of classic works of Brazilian artists garden Marquez,
Mexico designer Barragan and Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi and other creation, have
to show us the artistic ideas and creative ideas in the garden use. About installation art intervention
in urban public environment, the international community has a number of landscape architects and
artists made with varying degrees of exploration and practice. As we know is the American
landscape architect Martha Schwartz • Since the 1980s installation art and landscape design will
combine the last century created the most famous donuts garden landscape projects. And from
Vietnam • Andy Cao and Xavier from France • Parrott partner in a multicultural background, giving
the device in conjunction with the environment has brought a different texture and color experience.
In addition, especially in the past 20 years, the emergence of many art installations around the world
get a good use case and artists in the design of the urban environment, such as Jon • Piasecki and his
Stones River, Ito and his public image Ceramics device giant rabbit Sweden Square, Bruce Munro •
Wood Garden Design Lang have done to this end research to explore new and get a good reputation
in the international community. Chinese architect Zhang and the second held in Japan "Echigo
Tsumari Art Triennial" device works on the "rice house", strengthening, poetic conversion seasons,
expressed local farmers and foreign tourists care . After the Shanghai Expo Park Park also appeared
highly interactive landscape installations, to enhance the design quality of the whole park. With the
power of installation art has been widely accepted, designers and even held a landscape installation
art exhibition to explore the development direction of the landscape device. We can say that despite
public art installations in urban environments using only the city environment design of an
exploration, but this exhibit to explore urban design in the entire development process of a good
growth momentum. N should be a sentence we often hear, installation art from the time birth, with a
birthmark on the environment space.

Ceramic Sculpture and Public Environmental Art
Ceramic sculpture relative to other materials, which itself has a lot of advantages. Ceramic
sculpture is the art of the fire, after firing at high temperatures, corrosion resistance and freezing
rain, high temperature characteristics, the ceramic sculpture will not be because of natural climate
changes in corrosion in the structure, which also has a glaze permanent; ceramic sculpture glaze
rich and varied, refreshing; glassy surface glazed ceramic sculpture fired at high temperature
formed and easy to clean. Many advantages for long enough evidence ceramic sculpture placed
outdoors. In the 15th and 16th centuries, due to the prevalence of religious buildings, the Italian
ceramic sculpture and architecture fused into one and the whole Association. Sculpture, although
not the subject, but carefully dressed church (there are a few secular buildings) of each wall studs.
Today, public space has become part of our social and cultural whole. • Antonio Gaudi buildings
Gill Park (Barcelona), the main entrance to the lizard sculpture pouring cement structure and shape,
surface mount ceramic mosaics, sculpture strengthened by changes in the shape and decoration
color texture, extending new visual and associative. Miro sculpture also uses some of this method.
They offer a combination of ultimate expression in ceramics and architecture. Danish artist Bjorn
Norgard art projects: some of the world's largest ceramic sculpture (30 meters high).

Installation Art and Environment Pottery

Installation art has become an important branch of contemporary art installation art, also known
as "environmental art", began in the 1960s. Influenced by "Pop Art", "Minimalism" and "conceptual
art", etc., the rapid development of installation art, contemporary art has been prevalent in the many
painters and sculptors have joined the "installation art" in the ranks. In the West, there are
specialized installation art galleries. Because many potters are also involved in the creation of
installation art, making pottery also becomes an important means for language.
Apparatus and sculpture, although both are closely connected, but there are also differences: as a
concrete entity and three-dimensional shape, the device is difficult to distinguish closely with
sculpture. But the creation of objects and concepts factors, differences still exist between the two.
Means are public art and sculpture, but independence sculpture in public spaces stronger than the
means, pay more attention to the artist than the subtle expression of the heart device, which exists
between the United States and three-dimensional shape, lines and techniques of characterization and
implication. The means focuses on multi-dimensional field (environment) of the overall atmosphere,
more emphasis on interactive artist whose work (environment) and among the audience, drawing
the audience to participate, to face the people in a state of creative thinking.
Installation art and the environment have a profound link pottery. Qin Shi Wang horses
commission can be regarded as China's most prominent environmental ancient pottery installations.
Modern pottery device from Dada pioneer in Marshall • Toussaint) talked about his work, "spring"
historic. Introduced in the works now finished ceramic products using signature urinals, and upside
down, it is actually a ceramic device product. Starting in the 1980s, devices continue to penetrate
into the ceramic field. In the United States, Japan and other countries appeared to ready-made
ceramics, industrial waste ceramic, composite materials and the production of clay without firing
installations. Because of this grand vision, field and dreamy state of mind marginalized, since the
1980s, more and more artistic style means potters who favor. Modern pottery as part of modern art,
this exchange is the most natural thing to do. Japan Nakamura Jin Ping is the use of ready-made
ceramics internationally renowned potters. Ceramics device works on its use of a variety of ceramic
products daily life, such as handicrafts, bathroom tiles, porcelain industry, and its nearly 30 years of
good work and so abandoned. In a nearly 500-square-meter field, he mainly uses these readymade
related concepts, images, styles and techniques, and beaten constitute a "hodgepodge." Nearly a
decade, in Germany also prevailed pottery field installation art style. Plaid Bernhard Johannes
prefabricated, used industrial products (such as high temperature kiln and brick kilns) and other
ceramics to create temples and monuments.

Installation Art Creative Ideas in Urban Public Environmental Design
Readymade Art Fight Set. After the urban public environment, "landscape means", also known
as the "environment means" is a public art installations in urban environmental design can reflect a
certain theme of landscape, the landscape better interpretation of the spirit of place, deepen and
human thought communication, and enhance the quality of the artistic landscape workplace
applications. It is a rich visual experience, psychological suggestion, sensory exposure and focus on
the emotional exchange constitutes participation in the urban landscape, is rich connotation of urban
landscape, urban population constitutes an integral part of the high quality of life exquisite props.
The Emphasize of the Device Concept. In theory, people and places on the body's own
perception of the exchange system arising under the initial interaction between man and because of
some abstract meaning conveyed by the works resonate on a spiritual point and moved. However,
the conventional design experience tells us that emotion comes from the designer's expression may
not be able to get the viewer's identity, AC does not mean eventually resonate. To generate a spirit
of sympathy because, as inevitably inseparable from communication and exchange of people
following the spirit of the place [8] and place two processes determine the face of identity. A very
important thing can not be ignored - design standards directly affect depth of communication.
Communication process people and places and fracture due to design standards, the identity of the
second process tends to balance direct negation of works, how to impress?
Constraints landscape design standards of many factors, the four principles of urban design in
the public environment, holistic, ecological, humane and designed to meet a variety of physiological
and psychological needs for the crowd from different angles, no one did not test properly have a
direct impact on the actual outcome of the design. The contemporary urban design there is a more
important issue is the public environmental places of spiritual light. It is a direct manifestation of
Environmental Design apathy and low public satisfaction, such establishments have not built up the
environment and people's sense of affinity and belonging. Cause such consequences from a wide
range of constraints, we are helpless in which many aspects, but one thing is from the designers
themselves, that designers in the design process is likely to ignore the spirit of place and a venue for
the spirit of place the importance of the use of the crowd, and even some designers have been
driven by the interests and power to disregard the importance of the spirit of place, but it means the
artist can not.
Waste Recycling is Now Finished. In downtown Denver, there have been a group of
installations used office furniture and fresh green plants constitute the "natural system of
dominance," which is a group of dominant Device of office space and natural systems. Our living
environment has long been too much office space is dominated bondage. But if we have considered
whether to let the system play its dominant nature, humanity and nature is in a kind of relationship?
In fact, we are farther away from the natural mean more incompatible with the whole nature of our
system, and ultimately produce irreconcilable contradictions. So designers encourage people out of
the office at rest, to breathe the nature, close to the green, too wary of office space to expand
healthy relationships affect people and the outdoor environment.
Common man and nature is included in a closed ecosystem. All along, the man must get in the
circle of the entire ecosystem energy from nature, but with the gradual transformation of the way of
human existence, from hunter-gatherers to agricultural products to the energy of today's
post-industrial society, the intensity of energy demand growing, nature reserves in the
resource-intensive lifestyles modern continuous consumption, thus resulting in environmental
pollution, energy crisis and other issues, and more serious. So along with the 1962 Rachel • Card
Motion "Silent Spring," a book published, along with a modern ecological revolution detonated. In
this context, artists from around the world also have the power to make the relevant policy
responses and solutions. For example, George libraries • Logan proposed the corresponding waste
recovery and recycling program. Faced with pollution everywhere felled trees, waters, soil and
water and toxic waste piled dirt drain, how humans in the natural constraints such an interconnected
complex biological and cultural survival, how to balance their relationship, so The orderly and

healthy development can continue, it would be installation art and landscape design coincides with
topics of common concern.

Conclusion
Art installations in urban public environment actually is a new interpretation of the urban public
environment posed it to solve practical problems or relieve major aim, in view of today's urban
public environment, the landscape has exposed a weak spirit of place made, low level of public art
works spread, the design concept of ecological awareness is weak, not strong sense of innovation
and design practice and many other issues a positive response to their own advantages to provide an
effective solution; and activating landscape showing necrotic areas in practice, additional value
options, it offers an alternative way to experience and create strange landscape, enhance the
interaction attribute places emphasis on sustainability and saving capital costs of materials and
many other advantages, inclusive of contemporary art and its own advantages again and again to
bring people surprise.
