With the acceleration of urbanization, the public’s demand for interactivity and cultural expression in public art has increased. Traditional static installations suffer from poor interactivity and high maintenance costs. Smart textile technology offers new opportunities for art installations, but faces challenges such as limited interaction, poor durability, and energy dependence. This study proposes a smart textile installation design framework based on the “humanfabric-environment” triadic interaction, integrating modular design and system processes (user research, scenario analysis, technology selection, and structural simulation) to achieve the fusion of art, technology, and culture. Three conceptual cases are developed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework: 1) “Breath of Weaving,” a community interactive wall with a sensor-to-light feedback delay of less than 0.5 seconds and a solar-assisted energy system; 2) “Wind-Speak Path,” a smart sidewalk system featuring pressure sensing, light-shadow feedback, and a sitespecific pedestrian activity map; and 3) “City Weaving: The Wall of Solar Terms,” a culture-responsive textile installation integrating solar-term-based environmental responses and optional AR narratives. The cases further discuss energy selfsufficiency and durability as design targets, including energy autonomy and long-term outdoor service life. However, since the proposed parameters are based on conceptual design and preliminary estimates, their feasibility still requires prototype construction, experimental measurement, and long-term outdoor evaluation. Future efforts should focus on material optimization, cost control, and community co-creation. This study provides a design method and conceptual application cases for the use of smart textile technology in public art, promoting the fusion of technology and culture, and offering innovative solutions for smart city spaces and cultural heritage preservation.
