Exploring the Application of the Historical and Cultural Elements of Bashu Area in Hotel Design --The Example of the Temple House in Taikoo Li, Chengdu

Abstract

: Regional history and culture is an important part of traditional Chinese history and culture, and the integration of regional cultural elements into hotel design is conducive to demonstrating China's cultural confidence to the world. Chengdu The Temple House applies elements of regional history and culture to the hotel's architectural design, with the renovation of the front lobby incorporating ancient buildings such as Chengdu's Daci Temple and Clerk architecture, the hotel's curtain wall structure presenting Shu brocade weaving techniques, the courtyard arrangement being a true depiction of the natural landscape of Bashu area, and the functional area decorated with silk road and bronze culture, which is an important way to inherit and promote the regional history and culture of Bashu area. However, due to a lack of experience and professional guidance in history, the innovative design of the Chengdu the Temple House suffers from high cost of construction, inconsistent cultural design styles, over-emphasis on artistic but not holistic design, and a lack of in-depth exploration of the connotations of regional history and culture. Therefore, in the future, the hotel design incorporating regional historical and cultural elements should learn from the lessons of Chengdu the Temple House, optimise the cost of building materials for the renovation of ancient buildings and the incorporation of historical elements, unify the culture of interior decoration involving style, and on the basis of harmonising the artistry and practicality of the hotel, widely develop interdisciplinary cooperation between tourism and history to deeply explore the connotation of regional historical and cultural elements in the hotel design process. This will enhance the world's understanding of Chinese regional history and culture, and open up new ideas for the transmission of traditional culture in hotel architectural design.
