Abstract:With the change of thinking model, design methods and expression tools in the field of contemporary architectural design, it will inevitably bring about adjustment of teaching methods and teaching points. The basic skill training of architecture, which is as the architectural foundation of learning, also has changed. Based on our teaching experience, we interpreted the concept of basic skills of architecture from three aspects, which are making students’ to master the technique of architecture design, to master the theory and knowledge of architecture, and to build the design consciousness of architecture. Our purpose is to get a comprehensive understanding about it to think rationally on architecture teaching.
