CULTURAL RESONANCE IN HOMESTAY DESIGN: A STUDY OF HUI-STYLE ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS

Abstract

In the rapidly advancing landscape of modern society, there is a discernible resurgence of interest in antiquity, with individuals increasingly drawn to the allure of bygone eras. As material saturation becomes a prevailing reality, the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment takes center stage, emphasizing its paramount importance. The amalgamation of fashion and morality in people's attire and culture signifies a contemporary quest for a harmonious blend of modern style and timeless virtues.

The profound and rich characteristics of Chinese culture manifest prominently in various aspects, including furnishings, shapes, and layouts. These cultural elements not only serve as aesthetic components but also act as reflections of a profound connection to heritage. Recognizing the interplay between design concepts, regional materials, and traditional craftsmanship, this research underscores the necessity of a profound understanding of regional culture as a cornerstone for homestay design.

The primary objective of this study is to address the spiritual yearnings of individuals within our developed and materialistic society. Against the backdrop of rapid modernization, this research endeavors to facilitate a remembrance of original aspirations and cultivate a sense of psychological belonging. Understanding the vital role of regional culture in this pursuit, the study aims to refine and apply regional cultural elements to contemporary homestay designs, transcending the conventional limitations of homestay decoration.

In recognizing the intrinsic differences in regional cultures, the research advocates for the meticulous incorporation of regional cultural elements into modern local homestay designs. This departure from generic homestay decoration is a deliberate effort to establish a deeper connection with cultural roots, seeking an authentic sense of belonging. By creating homestay designs that resonate with regional styles, the study endeavors to evoke a profound sense of cultural identity and foster a renewed appreciation for heritage in an increasingly globalized world.
