Abstract

This paper focuses on the trajectory of the emergence of characteristic lodging in southern Anhui, embedded in the broad scenario of rural revitalisation and the prosperity of rural tourism, and discusses in depth the application of regional culture in the design strategy of lodging in southern Anhui, China. Based on the problems of shallow transformation, uneven quality, lack of regional characteristics and homogenisation that appear in the analysis of the current situation of the B&B industry in South Anhui, China, a multi-dimensional analysis system is constructed through an interdisciplinary perspective integrating a deep understanding of architecture, geography and design to reveal the synergistic mechanism of the essence of regional culture and the personalised design of B&Bs. Through literature research and classic case studies, this paper takes the regional design elements of lodgings in southern Anhui, China, such as the integration of the environment, the application of materials, spatial forms, decorative arts and historical stories as the entry point, and explains the comprehensive application of each element in the design of lodgings in southern Anhui, China, which provides a strong theoretical basis for the optimisation of the design strategy of lodgings in southern Anhui, China.
