It was not until the 20th century that the school gradually transformed and began to be called the leader of modern architecture. Zhang Yonghe, the host of "Extraordinary Studio", took a series of reform measures in 2005, which changed the image of the architecture department of MIT, showing more diversity, inclusiveness and openness.

According to the evolution of discipline thought, it can be roughly divided into two stages. The first 30 years are characterized by the architectural "physical environment theory" advocated by Mr. Liang Sicheng, the founder of architectural school. In the past 30 years, under the guidance of "Human Settlements Science" proposed by Mr. Wu, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and China Academy of Engineering. The subject field of architectural education is expanding constantly, which always leads the development of architectural education in China.
