Abstract

Background of Study: The review paper explores the application of Song Dynasty aesthetics in hotel interior design, with a focus on hotels in Hangzhou, China. The Song Dynasty era, known for its profound cultural achievements and aesthetic principles, serves as a rich source of inspiration for contemporary design practices. Purpose: This review aims to examine existing literature and studies related to Song Dynasty aesthetics in hotel interiors, identify key design elements, user experiences, and success factors, and propose guidelines for integrating historical aesthetics into contemporary hotel spaces. Method: A systematic literature review approach is employed to identify relevant studies published between 2019 and 2024. Search strategies include keywords such as "Song Dynasty aesthetics," "hotel interior design," and "Hangzhou." Studies meeting inclusion criteria are analyzed and synthesized to extract key themes and findings. Findings: Common design elements inspired by Song Dynasty aesthetics include natural materials, traditional motifs, and minimalist aesthetics. User reactions to themed hotel spaces are positive, with guests expressing emotional connections and cultural immersion. Success factors include historical authenticity, guest engagement, and collaborative design approaches. Originality/Significance: This review contributes to the understanding of the intersection between historical heritage and modern hospitality, providing insights and recommendations for designers, architects, and hoteliers seeking to create immersive and culturally authentic hotel environments. By bridging the gap between past and present, tradition and innovation, the study enriches the discourse on cultural preservation and heritage tourism in the context of hotel interior design.

Keywords : Song Dynasty Aesthetics, Hotel Interior Design, Hangzhou, Cultural Heritage Preservation, Contemporary Hospitality.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
