The modern sense of design as an art depends significantly on inheriting and developing its tradition.Traditional culture is an important source of the design philosophy. To create an ideal interior style and atmosphere is the ultimate objective of interior design. Therefore , interior design should be a conveyance of traditional culture.Suzhou classical gardens are great representatives of Chinese regional culture and are important branches of Chinese classical gardens, which are the essences of Chinese gardens. They are great in number and well preserved. The distinctive artistic method used by Suzhou classical gardens is to arrange everything ingeniously in a limited space and show changing views from different angles.The garden-build practices and culture meaning of Suzhou classical garden all have thousands of years of heritage, which enjoy considerable research value. This thesis attempts to study interior design in the perspective of Suzhou garden-build art.It tries to analyse the construction methods of Suzhou classical gardens and to study the applications and functions of these methods in interior design. It investigates several practical cases of traditional garden-build methods in modern design and summarizes the new methods and new ideas of contemporary interior design.Nowadays those classical garden-build methods could be put into practice and the modern aesthetic standards could be met only on the basis of a thorough comprehension of the essence of Suzhou classical gardens.And that is the purpose of this thesis.One of the most important research subjects of Chinese contemporary interior design is to combine the traditional design methods with modern ones and to achieve the rebirth and reprosperity of tradition in modern society through the integration study of Suzhou classical garden-build art and interior design, which is the social responsibility of contemporary designers as well.This thesis approaches the subject-matter mainly from the following parts:I) Based on the basic theories of interior designing, this part focuses on illustrating both the concept, types, characteristics of designing and the shared features of Chinese gardens, Suzhou Gardens in particular. This part also gives light to the historical significances and research values of Suzhou Gardens.II) This part gives a detailed analysis of the essential elements of designing-related issues and the corresponding applications.III)In this part, the major focus has been paid to the typical case study of the combination in Suzhou Gardens from the perspectives of designing background, designing style, spatial distribution, interior composition, etc. â…£) it summarizes the garden-build methods related on the analysis of several cases and reflects on the integration tendency of Suzhou classical gardens and contemporary interior design.Therefore, only by the continuous absorption of new ideas and technologies and the complement and developing of tradition can we melt and integrate the new and the old, mix and convert them at different levels under different environments, let the new theories and methods start functioning in time so that interior design could develop more rationally, more comprehensively and more healthily.
