A Study on Hotel Guestroom Interior Design for the Preservation of Regional Culture : Focusing on the Tibetan Garze Culture of Sichuan in China

As urbanization and globalization accelerate, many hotel spaces focus excessively on modernization and internationalization, neglecting the critical role of regional culture, leading to severe homogenization. This study aims to explore and research hotel guestroom interior design that preserves regional culture. In the theoretical background, it discusses the inheritance of the Tibetan culture of Garze and, through a review of prior studies and case studies of the Garze Tibetan region, proposes specific methods for expressing regional culture in hotel guestroom interiors. Furthermore, this study introduces generative AI tools during the design phase to assist in generating new ideas and achieving innovation in hotel guestroom design. The results demonstrate that Garze Tibetan culture, as an outstanding regional culture, holds significant meaning in creating hotel guestroom spaces and that regional cultural elements can be effectively applied in hotel guestroom design. Additionally, interior design expressions generated with the assistance of generative AI tools, guided by the designer's clear intentions, met expectations, showing the potential for utilizing generative AI in the field of interior design.
