Based on the teaching reform of primary architecture design in Chinese University of Mining & Technology, we researched on teaching reform ideas and measures. Followed with the principle of “site-space-tectonics”, students should do some design work for different elements which are in the same site. They should also learn to observe the design with different viewpoints. Finally, the different designs would be integrated at the end of the course. The teaching reform can train students’ sense of space, observation ability, and team cooperation ability.
