The major of architectural design mainly focuses on the appearance and internal structure of single buildings, and many architectural design colleges in British and American architectural design universities have technical courses related to landscape design and urban design. Universities with higher rankings in architecture include AA Architecture Alliance College, University College London, Harvard University, Columbia University, and other well-known universities with very high rankings in the world.

Major courses of architectural design:

Introduction to Architecture, Architectural Physics, Architectural Optics, Architectural Design Principles, Design Basis, Architectural Mechanics, Architectural Structure, Thermology, Acoustics, Architecture, Decorative Arts, Creative Painting Performance, Regional Planning and Design, Landscape Design, Environmental Control, Ergonomics, Building Surveying and Model Making, Building Standard Drawing Surveying and Mapping, etc.

　　 Key points of American architectural design works:

• American architectural education focuses on practice and research process.

• A large number of research models and space research will be accepted by the American architectural education system.

　　• Architectural design style Paying attention to concept deduction, analyzing and solving problems will be the most important part of American universities.

        Suggestions for application of American architecture:

　　 American undergraduate advice : More attention is paid to academic achievements, and the collection of works only serves as a supplementary role. Some schools need a limited time (2-4 weeks) to set up an art exam or a Challenge portfolio project.

　　 Academic achievements ≥ Collection of Architectural Design Works

　　 Suggestions of American graduate students : Teng School values academic achievements. If T+GPA is not enough for the soft requirements of the school, it will not look at the collection of works. Other schools are more relaxed about academic performance, but admission is also a comprehensive assessment of students' academic performance and work collection ability.

　　 Academic achievements ≥ professional works collection of architectural design=academic background (211 and 985 universities)

        Suggestions for British architecture application:

　　 UK Undergraduate Recommendations : More attention is paid to the ability of the collection of works. In A level, comprehensive universities are requested to have a small score limit. UCL has an art exam, and you can only see the collection of works later. Other schools need to submit the collection of works directly. There are basically interviews, and AA interviews need to go to London.

　　 Collected works ≥ academic achievements

　　 Suggestions for UK graduate students : Unable to change majors, and can only obtain a Master degree in a related major in the UK. Studying abroad in architecture The application does not require English scores. It is recommended that students who want to go to famous schools but have poor academic background apply for the UK AA or UCL.

　　 Works collection ≥ GPA=academic background
