IV、Educational Objectives and Characteristics
With the main target of "Outstanding architect training" and the orientation of the demands of the society and enterprises, through the study of professional courses, students are asked to master the basic principles, design procedures and methods of architectural design, architectural history and culture, and architectural technology knowledge such as building structure, building materials and construction, and physical environment control on one hand. on the other hand, they are cultivated to have aesthetic and artistic quality. In addition, students are also asked to understand other professional theories and relevant knowledge of the construction safety, science of behavior, urban and rural planning and landscape design, economy and laws, and registered architects’ bussiness. Students are able to have ability of comprehensive analysis and organization, ability of judgment and expression, and even ability.to apply design principles to architectural design with good control of architectural technology.
Graduates mainly serve for urban and rural construction, engaging in such work as design, research, project development and administration in field of public building design, residential building design, urban design and protection of historical buildings and the like.
2. Specialty characteristics
On the basis of the professional educational principle of "thick and solid foundation, wide channel, strong ability, high quality, more attention to the practice", the discipline of Architectural Design and Theory is the backbone, accompanied by such other disciplines as Architectural History and Theory, Urban and Rural Planning and Design, Architectural Technology and Science, Art and Literature.
Around the running concept of our university, "based in Beijing, facing the whole country, relying on the construction industry, and serving for urban and rural construction", the specialty makes full use of the enterprise cooperation as a platform, building up the after-school talent training base, thus devoting itself to cultivate outstanding graduates in architecture, who adapt and meet the industry demands.
The main professional design focuses on such topics as the public building, the residential building, urban design, and the protection of historical buildings, accompanied by the green building design and technology, digital technology virtual simulation of as the main features.
