Symbiosis and Translation: The Aesthetic Expression and Spatial Narrative of Ice and Snow Art from the Perspective of Environmental Art Design
Main Article Content
Abstract
Ice and snow art plays an important role in environmental art design; however, limitations related to climate adaptability, material durability, and spatial expression often restrict its long-term development. Based on the theoretical framework of symbiosis and translation, this study investigates the aesthetic expression and spatial narrative mechanisms of ice and snow art through ecological interaction modeling and artistic semantic translation. A database containing 152 ice-and-snow material samples is established to analyze optical reflection, melting duration, and environmental interaction characteristics. Spatial-behavior modeling and virtual simulation techniques are employed to construct a multidimensional scene-interaction system and evaluate spatial-rhythm evolution. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework improves contextual narrative quality and design sustainability, increasing average light-reflection intensity by 27.4%, extending melting delay time by 18 minutes, and improving participant immersion by 35%. The study provides a systematic pathway for integrating environmental perception, spatial simulation, and digital design optimization.
