Between The Dwelling And Hotel:Research-oriented Design For B&b

With the continuous development of tourism and lodging industry,B&B(Bed and Breakfast)draws more and more attention from people as an innovative,special tourism reception facility carrying the local context and architectural tradition.Architects are also paying increasing interests in the design of B&B,but because of the relatively late start and the lack of clear definition and standardized management of B&B industry in China,that many new B&B houses are gradually deviating from the original concept.The thesis starts from the origin of B&B and combs its development,definition and research status,then discusses the problems encountered in the development and design of B&B in China.In view of the problem that B&B has not yet formed a very unified definition in China,I present that B&B is a kind of hotel based on the local dwellings and is a 'home' between 'dwelling and hotel' whose owner is willing to share it with guests.Under specific analysis of the difference among B&B and hotel and dwelling,I think the soul of B&B is that the owner is willing to share it with others.Then,through the investigation and research of case study,the thesis puts forward some factors that affect the design of B&B and expounds some methods of design,by the ways of cultural inheritance,the creation of space and proper concern of natural conditions I hope to provide some reference for the design of B&B.In the end,based on the conclusion and design methods and case study above,the thesis puts forward the methods of solving problems combined with the design practice of two research projects to explain how theoretical research guides the operation of actual projects.Besides,the practical experience not only proves the feasibility of theoretical study but also complements the inadequacies.
