The traditional architecture of Tibet is a typical representative of Tibetan traditional religious culture，It is also an example of the combination of material space and religious culture.Through in-depth analysis of traditional Tibetan architecture and Tibetan religious culture，Summarize the central characteristics of the spatial form of traditional Tibetan architecture and the religious symbolic meaning and connotation of indoor space.Studying the fusion of religious meaning and regional architecture and The embodiment of religious meaning in architectural space,Refined the design ideas of contemporary regional architecture in Tibet.

Through the investigation of the Ali area of Tibet and the Kangrinboqe and the above research.At the same time, combine both The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying etc Tibetan Buddhism Theory Books，The ideas put forward in the book are refined and summarized as the design basis.The design mainly focuses on the shaping of the spirit of "Wuming" and "Kongxing"，Through contrasting contrast design in front and back of the interior space.I hope that the experiencer can understand the philosophical meaning of "WORLD IN A SEED."And it reminds people to think about the impetuous mentality,Pursue the original state of "kongxing"
