In the spring semester of 2023, the “Creative Space” architectural design course for sophomores completed all teaching work. This course selects the design of diverse learning and communication scenes represented by the Architecture Department Museum, Art Department Museum, and Innovation Experimental Center (X-lab) as the topic, encouraging students to combine their daily learning and life experiences for creativity, while meeting the needs of diverse learning and communication, and coordinating and organizing these creative spaces that have connections and differences between them. The five locations of the course design are located within the university campus, and students choose one topic and one location for design based on on-site surveys and teacher guidance. The course is led by Wang Hui and Wei Shiyu, with mentors including Zhuang Weimin, Xu Maoyan, Wang Yi, Cheng Xiaoqing, Xia Xiaoguo, Zou Huan, Rao Rong, Cheng Xiaoxi, Wang Hui, and Wei Shiyu..
The course teaching is divided into 10 weeks of comprehensive design and 6 weeks of thematic training. Among them, comprehensive design is divided into four stages: lectures and research, conceptual design, in-depth design, expression and image evaluation; The thematic training includes two mandatory modules: spatial deepening and facade deepening, as well as two optional modules – virtual simulation (VR) assisted architectural design and digital exhibition design..
In addition to design guidance, the teaching process also invited national engineering survey and design masters, Chief Engineer Xiao Congzhen of China Academy of Building Sciences Co., Ltd., as well as teachers Wang Yi, Rao Rong, Cheng Xiaoxi, Zou Huan, and Wei Shiyu from the School of Architecture to give special lectures on the design focus at different stages, including architectural design creativity, graphic architectural design, etc., in response to the limited course hours and multi-dimensional training objectives Principles and Case Analysis of Campus Architecture Design, Analysis of External Space and Site, Case Analysis of Building Space Based on Ecological Design, Structural Selection and Building Space, Facade Deepening, etc..
In order to achieve a comprehensive and extensive communication evaluation effect, the final evaluation of the 10th week’s comprehensive design will be divided into two sessions: the first session adopts a cross grouping mode, with all grade students divided into four groups, each group consisting of 2-3 guiding teachers and 2 specially invited guests to form an evaluation group for defense. The teachers will provide guidance on the design proposals of the students from multiple perspectives and dimensions; The second session adopts a joint evaluation model for all grades, providing opportunities for students to communicate and learn from each other across groups..
The special guests participating in the group drawing review are Ren Fei (Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tsinghua University), Li Yu (Beijing Jianzhu University), Li Qizhi (UUA Architects), Zhang Lufeng (University of Chinese Academy of Sciences), Zheng Xiaodong (Beijing Forestry University), Zheng Fang (Zheng Fang Studio, Beijing Jiaotong University), Tie Lei (Beijing Jianzhu University), Zhang Yuben (Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tsinghua University)..
With the joint efforts of teachers and classmates, a semester of architectural design teaching has officially come to an end, and students have completed numerous refreshing design plans with full enthusiasm..
Shanghai Duni Diuni Design Institute’s subsidiary, Fanjia Scheme Hand Drawing, focuses on learning performance techniques such as pen drawing and marking, as well as training and improving design fundamentals such as form generation and spatial operation..
