Study on the Construction and Communication of Digital Artization of Historic Building Remains

Cao Yu's Former Residence on Minzhu Road, Heibei District, Tianjin as an Example

Abstract

As the era progresses and digital technology continues to advance, the application modes of historic buildings in cultural exhibition and communication must adapt to modern needs through reasonable transformation and development, ensuring the full expression and innovative inheritance of their cultural value. Cao Yu's former residence, where the famous playwright lived during his youth, stands as a testament to his formative years and creative process. The application of digital tools offers innovative ways to delve into the profound cultural essence of this historic site. Focusing on the Cao Yu's Former Residence in Tianjin as a representative case, this paper deeply explores its rich literary connotation and unique historical significance, and actively responds to the dilemma that it is difficult for conventional exhibition and communication channels to fully demonstrate their charm and connotation under the current background. Utilizing digital technology, this study proposes multidimensional innovative strategies, such as creating an integrated exhibition platform with diverse digital resources, expanding social media and hybrid online-offline communication channels to reach wider visitors, and cultivating a collaborative cultural heritage ecosystem that engages both experts and the public, thereby advancing the cultural promotion of Cao Yu's former residence. This study not only introduces innovative approaches for the cultural preservation and promotion of the Cao Yu's Former Residence in Tianjin but also serves as a reference for the revitalization of other historic buildings in the digital era, overcoming the divide between art and technology, and supporting the innovative and sustainable evolution of historic architectural culture in the digital age, allowing cultural heritage to shine anew and resonate profoundly in contemporary society.
