Organic Reconstruction of Hakka-Enclosed House Architecture Language in Modern Interior Design in Shenzhen

Abstract

This study delves into the historical background and various types of Hakka-enclosed houses in Shenzhen, aiming to establish the architectural language system of these houses in the city. In addition, the study seeks to analyse inheritance principles, recreate Hakka houses' architectural language for modern interiors, and offer design guidelines for incorporating traditional architectural languages into interior design. The study aims to incorporate architectural language features into dining space design, creating cultural and artistic forms that are well-suited for modern interior spaces. Experts and consumers will evaluate and verify the feasibility of this work. This article introduces a design method as a point of reference, viewed through the lens of modern "vision" and interior design. This article provides a theoretical foundation and empirical support for the preservation and renovation of Shenzhen Hakka cabinet houses in the context of interior design. The research employs both qualitative and quantitative methods to progress through three sequential steps: The study consists of three key steps: conducting a literature review and field investigation to identify the architectural language of enclosures; analysing and presenting the principles of inheritance and construction of the architectural language of cabinets in modern interiors; applying the architectural language of the surrounding house to the design of the dining area based on the principles of reconstruction; and conducting evaluations to assess its effectiveness. The results indicate that the dining space incorporating the linguistic characteristics of Hakka huts possesses educational, aesthetic, innovative, and regional qualities. The study's findings highlight the significance of incorporating architectural enclosure language into contemporary interior design to meet market demand, preserve and repurpose regional cultural artefacts, and underscore the crucial involvement of food and beverage design experts, Hakka research experts, and consumers in regional cultural design. The study's findings emphasise the potential benefits of incorporating the architectural language of the enclosure into contemporary interior design. The results indicate that interior design professionals and stakeholders incorporate Hakka enclosed house architectural language into their practices. The preservation and enhancement of local cultural heritage is supported, along with the creation of innovative urban interior designs that incorporate local elements. Several limitations should be considered in the context of this study. The study's ability to generalise findings for other regions with different cultural settings may be limited due to its focus on the enclosed Hakka houses in Shenzhen.
