The advent of emerging technologies offers new possibilities for the innovative design and contemporary revitalization of brocade. In this work, we focuse on the botanical motifs of traditional brocade and explores the integration of this heritage textile into tea room spatial design. Guided by cultural gene theory and the analytic hierarchy process, the research identifies and filters key cultural elements, while employing extenics-based innovation methods and AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content) technologies to achieve both creative pattern transformation and practical product development. Through technological intervention, the study advances brocade from two-dimensional patterns to three-dimensional spatial applications, thereby constructing a theoretical framework titled “Brocade Gene Pattern Innovation and Spatial Application.” The resulting series of tea room designs embody both Oriental aesthetics and modern functionality, promoting the deep integration of brocade art into contemporary living and demonstrating a novel design application for intangible cultural heritage.
