Study on teaching of structure courses in architecture design

Abstract

Architecture is a comprehensive subject that integrates both technology and arts. In order to ensure the feasibility of art creation, architects should be fully equipped with basic theoretical knowledge on structures. At the same time, architecture design is closely related to architecture structures. Architects and structural engineers should closely cooperate with each other. Only in this way can architecture that has well combined technology with arts be created. The objective of architecture structural course is to help students to build and use the accurate structural concepts. In this paper, it makes analysis on the current architectural structure course and finds out the problems. In addition, it has put forward the solution to the problem so as to offer some referential meanings to the teaching of this curriculum. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
