Design and Cultural Significance of the Western Pavilion: Integrating Sichuan Residential Architecture with Modern Sustainable Practices

Abstract

This paper explores the design and cultural significance of a Western Pavilion that draws architectural elements from Sichuan residential buildings. Emphasizing both structural and aesthetic considerations, the pavilion employs sustainable materials to harmonize with its environment. This study details the use of wood and steel in the pavilion's construction, examines its design methodology, analyzes its cultural impact, and discusses its role in preserving the artistic essence of Sichuan heritage. Furthermore, the paper delves into the environmental benefits, practical applications, and broader implications of integrating traditional architectural elements with modern sustainable practices.
