Facing the current opportunities and challenges of architecture major education, Nanjing Tech University conducts a teaching reform on the curriculum design of the second-grade architecture community service center and introduces new thinking dimensions and teaching links with the problem of "urban function repair" as the entry point. The teaching is focused on cultivating design values and design working methods, and training students to establish independent design logic and research-based design thinking method. Combining with the teaching reform practice, the content and methods of the curriculum practice are summarized, and a new means is explored to link the basic teaching and improvement teaching of design.
