Abstract:Urban renewal is an important measure to reshape urban space, stimulate urban vitality and improve urban functions, and it is also one of the important tasks of urban construction in China in the future. With the rapid development of city economy in China, the demands of the masses on city environment are increasing day by day, and the image quality of a batch of old city bridges can no longer satisfy people''s aesthetic needs. By studying the regional cultural characteristics of Zhenjiang city and the site attributes around the bridge, this paper creates the architectural modeling of Lanyun bridge from three aspects: design intention, design element extraction and design deduction. Practice has proved that the landscape improvement of Lanyun bridge plays a positive role in guiding the regional cultural connotation of Zhenjiang city and promoting the socio-economic value around the scenic spot, and provides creative ideas for the improvement and transformation of conventional beam bridges with a small and medium-sized span.
