As a major strategic decision in China's specific historical period, the construction of the third line has formed a unique "three-line spirit" and industrial cultural style. This study aims to systematically explore the visual elements in the third-line construction culture, and carry out modern transformation and innovative application through design methods. Firstly, through historical literature research and field investigation, the cultural context and visual characteristics of the third-line construction are sorted out. Then, a cultural element extraction system is constructed to classify and refine visual symbols from different dimensions of industrial facilities, life scenes, and natural environments. On this basis, the design concept of "new industrial aesthetics" is proposed, and the pattern innovation design is carried out by combining abstraction, geometry, narrative composition and other techniques. Finally, through the application paths of cultural tourism products, fashion clothing, digital media and other fields, it provides practical design strategies and practical basis for the living inheritance and dissemination of third-line construction culture. This study not only broadens the disciplinary boundaries of third-line construction research, but also provides theoretical reference and case enlightenment for the design innovation and value regeneration of industrial heritage with Chinese characteristics.
