As a supplement to classroom teaching, workshop teaching plays a great role in cultivating students’ practical ability and innovative ability. To comply with the policy requirements for emerging engineering education, the paper puts forward a workshop teaching mode of theory + design + experiment + construction. The mode takes architectural design as the core, guiding architectural design through theoretical research, optimizing architectural design through technical experiments, and testing architectural design through construction practice, to help students realize rational design. Taking the architectural design workshop Farmhouse Regeneration Project held by Central South University as an example, its complete teaching framework has verified the effectiveness of this mode. This teaching mode, which integrates the concept of cross-disciplines and innovation-research promotion, the system of multi-in-one and multi-collaboration, and the methodology of science-education integration, open and independent, is of guiding significance for the training of innovative compound architectural design talents in the future.
