Abstract

The design of smart wellness spaces currently faces three major challenges: an inherent contradiction between the widespread application of smart technologies and sustainable development goals; a disconnect between a function-first design approach and the need for cultural preservation, and the difficulty in transforming high-quality design outcomes into digital educational resources due to a lack of effective dissemination channels. This study uses the “Rui Ling An Ju” integrated design scheme as a practical vehicle to explore an integrative approach: in the stages of spatial planning, material selection, and scenario planning, sustainable concepts, cultural elements, and educational functions are incorporated as intrinsic elements into the design framework from the outset. Subsequently, a technical framework combining AIGC-assisted scheme generation and VR-based immersive validation is established to conduct performance simulation, experience optimization, and knowledge encapsulation of the design scheme. The study demonstrates that the approach of “goal-integrated design framework + technology-enabled validation and dissemination” can effectively create smart wellness spaces that combine environmental friendliness, a sense of cultural belonging, and educational exemplarity. This initiative provides a reference model for interdisciplinary research and practice in related fields.
