The architect should change from artist to intellectuals wide the new visual field of architecture.

Abstract:With the complicated economic and social factors for city prettified movement in the rapid urbanization of China, urban landscape construction becomes the chase object of capital and power, while the suture functions of regional integration, historic connection and spatial stratification elimination are severely neglected. It reveals that the city beautiful movement, a superficial embarrassment, will raise issues like exaggerated urban space scale, lost partial sequence, cracking city historical and cultural symbol, weakened region identification, spatial differentiation of stratification together with unsustainability of urban construction and development in future. Then, in combination with design cases, it proposes four strategies for city prettified movement which is helpful to the landscape design research: suture the nature and humanism by historical and cultural symbol, image and connotation by space settlement, space and city by regional integration, and current and future by ecological theory.

Abstract:Structural system design courses are important while difficult for both the lecturers and students in the major of civil engineering due to the complexity, wide scope and profound connection with engineering practice of those courses. Unfortunately, the educational objectives of these courses can be hardly fulfilled due to the poor configuration in terms of effectiveness and completion of these courses. Contents of some courses overlap. Emphases of teaching are partially put on structural elements instead of system, theories instead of application and skills instead on professionalism. This paper takes the University of Southern California as the example and introduces several characteristics and merits in the course configuration, teaching philosophy and methods and application practice of structural design courses in American universities. Based on a comparative study, suggestions are make for the improvement of the teaching of the structural system design courses in China.

Abstract:In architectural basic teaching, the architecture space enlightenment is a very important part. Traditional space composition followed the practice of nine-square problem, emphasized the elements and form of space. But it is easy to lead students to ignore the nature of some important elements such as space and site. The new space strategy of contemporary architecture can change the monotony of the traditional space composition; it can also complement the lack of nine-square problem exercise, and resolve the students’ problems in the space practice.

Abstract:With the scientific and integrated urban-rural development traditional urban planning education is obviously in the need of reform. As a core theory course, the content of urban planning principle expands fast and the knowledge becomes more difficult. During the past teaching practice, there were some problems that the teaching group was relatively small; the course was lack of discussion and exploration; the teaching was lack of innovation. To meet the requirements of excellent course construction, the teaching reform includes adjusting of the course frame, teaching aim and content, enlarging teaching group by trans-subject, combination of teaching and research exploration, and keeping up with the advanced foreign education practice. The paper points out that in the following stages of teaching reform, we should coordinate with other courses related through collaborative teaching methods, use research type teaching methods to adapt the transformation development in the professional area, establish the participation type teaching in the bilingual teaching environment.
