Study Room of University under the Background of Characteristic Culture: Research on Interior Space Environment Design
Main Article Content
บทคัดย่อ
Ningxia, located in northwestern China, has a long history and is home to multiple ethnic groups, boasting a rich cultural heritage. With the development of modern education, effectively integrating and showcasing this multiculturalism in university study spaces, particularly at Northern Nationalities University, has become an important issue. The design of study rooms must not only meet functional requirements but also reflect and convey the cultural characteristics of the region.
This study employs literature reviews and field investigations to explore how to integrate the multicultural elements of Ningxia into the design of study rooms, ensuring that these designs meet modern educational needs while also showcasing the unique regional culture. The findings reveal that incorporating Ningxia's multicultural elements not only enriches the cultural atmosphere of the study rooms but also significantly enhances students' learning experiences and cultural identity. Furthermore, specific design techniques, such as optimizing spatial layouts and cleverly integrating cultural elements, can effectively promote communication and cooperation among students, enhancing the functionality and aesthetics of the learning environment.
The study’s implications suggest that culturally inclusive design strategies can serve as a model for other universities, contributing to regional cultural preservation, inclusive education, and sustainable campus development.
