It is worth exploring that how to learn it well and how teachers can not only care young students’ creative concepts and ideas, but also help them sort out the rules and regulations of the real field. As a very important core course of Architecture major, Architectural Design covers 3 academic years and 6 semesters, and it can be divided into 3 stages, namely basic design, improving design and integrated design. No matter what stage of teaching it is, it requires strict concepts, rigorous process, as well asflexible methods and strong practicability. In addition, the contradiction between students’ original level and the cultivation goals ought to be solved in the process of teaching. There are many controversial issues in this regard, especially about how to achieve the goal of cultivating students’ design ability. Therefore, the following discussion was conducted.
