Due to the complexity and contradiction of the involved factors of architecture design, it makes differences for architecture education from pure engineering, pure sciences, pure liberal, fine arts and so on. To the local universities with the basic goal of applied talents training, design ability is the core of architecture specialty training, design course is the main course to training the design ability. During the process of design ability training, using "creative problem solving model" combined with "intellectual skills model" namely the teaching ideas and methods bases on "CPS + intellectual skills" model create a learning community situation to realize the ideas of active learning, learning through doing, autonomous learning under the guide of teacher, guiding students to discover new knowledge independently, then twice as much can be accomplished with half the effort.
