department of architecture

Since the establishment of 1983 in September, the Department of Architecture has been committed to integrating teaching, research and design practice into a cohesive teaching system. Close cooperation with Shenzhen University Architectural Design and Research Institute; SUIADR has been proved to be creative, practical and international. It ranks ninth among all architectural schools in China.

Building projects emphasize the training of professional skills and creative design thinking. After nearly 20 years of exploration and reform, the plan has several unique features:

Around the core course of design studio course, the close relationship between different courses. The teaching of architectural structure and architectural drawing is integrated into the course of design studio. Architectural structure, art training and graphic design courses also work closely with design studio courses.

The course of design studio emphasizes modernity and ontological thinking, as well as the ability of space formation and architectural methods in design. Encourage students to rely on rational analysis and experience in the design process, and use working models and computer simulation models to assist the design.

The theme studio recently included in the course is a new feature of this project. The theme studio is held once a year, trying to provide a platform for theoretical and avant-garde design research.

There are currently 37 teachers in the Department of Architecture, including 9 professors, 9 associate professors 19 and 9 lecturers, all from well-known schools at home and abroad. Most teachers have international experience in studying, working and traveling abroad. Four teachers graduated from foreign universities. The department also reserves a teaching position for foreign teachers every year.

At present, the department enrolls 320 students, mainly from Guangdong Province and one foreign student.

The department also enjoys good teaching facilities. The newly completed college complex provides spacious space. Department Library has collected more than 35,000 books and 2 10 kinds of Chinese and foreign architectural and related magazines since the 1980s. The model workshop has accumulated many years of experience and can process wood, cardboard, gypsum, metal, plastic and other materials.

After twenty years of hard work, the achievements of our teachers and students have been widely recognized nationwide. Many of our graduates continue their academic research in foreign universities, including the famous Harvard University, UCLA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and British AA University. Both our students and teachers are famous for their ability to win the design competition. Many completed projects have won excellent design awards at provincial, ministerial and municipal levels. Substantial progress has also been made in the research field. Teachers in this department often publish articles in leading architectural magazines. So far, 10 books have been published. In addition to many research projects at provincial and municipal levels, the department also undertook two research projects supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China.

After years of hard work and development, the department has established a good reputation in academic circles. Architecture major is recognized as a key major by schools and provincial education departments. Arch. The project passed the certification procedure and was approved by the National Building Certification Committee in 1996. In the same year, the master's degree in architectural design and theory was approved by the State Council Academic Committee. 200 1, the master program of architectural history and theory was also approved.

Urban planning department

As the main subsidiary of urban planning society of china, urban planning society of china was founded on 200 1. The first batch of students were enrolled in the same year. Urban planning and design specialty is born out of architecture specialty, aiming at cultivating urban entity design talents.

The Department shares teaching facilities and teaching staff with the Department of Architecture, and expands the teaching staff through exchanges and cooperation with many urban planning and design professionals. Young and middle-aged teachers are the core of the teaching staff, including 1 doctoral tutor and 8 master tutor. Most teachers have high academic rankings (professors or associate professors). Focusing on the Pearl River Delta, the teachers of the Department of Urban Planning and Design have carried out research in urban design and urban development, urban open space and landscape form, human settlement environment and other related disciplines, and obtained national recognition.

The teaching in this department pays equal attention to basic and practical skills-on the one hand, according to the practicality of the design, it emphasizes the training of basic knowledge and skills; On the other hand, students are encouraged to develop their sensitivity to the surrounding environment and understand the influence of contemporary technological, social and economic development on their research fields. Taking advantage of the strategic position of Shenzhen, the department strives to face the new problems and challenges raised by contemporary society and cultivate high-quality talents who have a deep understanding of the subject foundation and meet the requirements of the times.

The curriculum and teaching of urban planning specialty have several unique characteristics:

1. Comprehensive design teaching

Urban planning course is built on the basis of architectural projects and extended to the knowledge of environment and urban design, so as to cultivate talents who fully understand urban material planning.

The first three years of the project depend on infrastructure training. In the fourth year, starting from case study and analysis, the basic theoretical and practical knowledge of urban planning, residential area planning and environmental design will be incorporated into the curriculum. In the fifth year, more emphasis will be placed on comprehensive training and professional skills and knowledge.

2. Close the link with related fields.

The project emphasizes the connection between architecture, urban and environmental design. This course lays a solid foundation for basic building training, and combines the background knowledge of urban design, environmental design, sociology, economics and cultural research, which will help students master the comprehensive knowledge of physical environment.

3. Take advantage of construction projects

The company's existing faculty is characterized by strong design talents. Most of our teachers are.

He is quite accomplished in theoretical study and has rich practical experience in planning.
