The College of Architecture & Civil Engineering
Shenzhen University
The College of Architecture and Civil Engineering of Shenzhen University (SUCACE) was founded in April 1997, combining the strength of three formerly independent faculties - Departments of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Design. Both architectural and civil engineering faculties were among the earliest ones since the inception of the University.
After nearly two decades of growth and development, SUCACE currently consists of three departments, i.e. that of Architecture, Urban Planning, and Civil Engineering. Other affiliates include the Institute of Architectural Design and Research, the press house of the magazine World Architectural Review, the Research Institute of High-rise Architecture, the Research Institute of Residential Architecture, the Decoration Engineering Company, the Research Institute of Construction Supervision, the Centre of Structure Engineering and Building Materials, the Centre of Urban Utility and Traffic Research, and the Research Institute of Building Economy and Management. Focusing on the formulation and development of the architectural and civil engineering programmes, these entities have played a promotive role in integrating teaching, research and professional practice into a cohesive educational system, which provides qualified talents for the society in general and the rapid urban development of Shenzhen in particular.
The College has four undergraduate programs, i.e. architecture, urban planning, civil engineering, and construction management, and three master’s programs, i.e. architectural design and theory, architectural history and theory, and structural engineering. Two additional master’s programs – urban planning and construction management – are to be introduced in 2004. SUCACE’s architectural program is a provincial key program since 1998; it also underwent the national architectural accreditation process and was recognized as a provincial important program in Guangdong Province 2002. The College currently enrolls over 660 students and more than 60 graduate students. The faculty staff consists of 60 teachers, including 12 professors, 29 associate professors/senior engineers, and 29 lecturers/engineers.
pursuant to the demand of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the College strives to integrate teaching, research, and design activities under a coordinated body of staff. Our goal is to cultivate new types of students adapted to the needs of our time.
Department of Architecture
Since its inception in September 1983, the Department of Architecture has been striving to integrate teaching, research and design practice into a cohesive didactic system. Its close cooperation with Shenzhen University Institute of Architectural Design & Research (SUIADR) has proved to be creative, practical, and international in reach. It is ranked No. 9 among all architectural schools in the country.
The architectural program emphasizes trainings in professional skills and creative design thinking. After nearly two decades of search and reforms, the program features several unique characters:
l Strong connections among different courses around the core course of design studio classes. The teaching of building construction and architectural drawing is integrated into design studio classes. Building structure, artistic training and graphic design classes also work closely with design studio classes.
l The design studio classes emphasizes modernity and ontological thinking, as well as the ability of spatial formation and an architectonic approach in design. Students are encouraged to rely on rational analysis and empirical experience in the design process, and to use working models and computer simulation models to assist their design.
l The theme studios recently incorporated into the curriculum is a new feature in the program. Conducted once a year, the theme studio attempts to provide a platform for theoretical and avant-garde design research.
The Department of Architecture has 37 teachers, including 9 professors, 19 associate professors and 9 lecturers from reputable schools both in China and abroad. Most teachers have international experience by studying, working and traveling widely outside the country. Four the teachers graduate from foreign universities. The Department also reserves one teaching position every year for foreign teachers.
Currently the Department enrolls 320 student mainly from local Guangdong Province and one foreign student.
The Department also enjoys good teaching facilities. The newly inaugurated college complex provides generous spaces. The department library has a collection of over 35000 books and over 210 Chinese and foreign architectural and related magazines since 1980’s. The model workshop has accumulated years of experience and can process such materials as wood, cardboard, gypsum, metal, and plastic.
After two decades of endeavor, the achievement of our teachers and students are widely recognized within the country. Many of our graduates continued their scholarly pursuits in universities abroad, including such reputable ones as Harvard, UCLA, MIT in the USA, and AA in England. Both our students and teachers are known for their ability to win design competitions. Many of the realized projects have won provincial, ministerial and municipal design excellence awards. Substantial advancement is made in the field of research as well. Teachers from the department constantly publish articles in leading architectural magazines. To date, over 10 books have been published. In addition to numerous research projects at provincial and municipal levels, the department has undertaken two research projects from the Chinese Natural Science Foundation.
Through years of endeavor and development, the Department has established its reputation within the academic circle. The architectural program is both recognized by the university and provincial educational authorities as key program. The B. Arch. program underwent the accreditation process and was approved by the National Architectural Accreditation Board in 1996. In the same year, the department’s master’s program in architectural design and theory was approved by the State Council’s academic sub-committee. In 2001, the master’s program in architectural history and theory was also approved.
Department of City Planning
As a major subordinate entity under SUCACE, the Department of City Planning was founded in 2001. The first batch of students were enrolled in the same year. The city planning and design program grew out of the architectural program with the aim of fostering urban physical design talents.
The department shares teaching facilities and staff with the architectural department and has an extended teaching staff through exchange and cooperation with numerous city planning and design professionals. Young and middle-aged teachers form the core of the teaching and research faculty, including one doctorate tutor, 8 master tutors. Most of the teachers have high academic rankings (professor or associated professor). With the Pearl Delta region in focus, teachers from the city planning and design department conducted researches in the fields of urban design and city growth, urban open spaces and landscape morphology, human habitat, and other related subjects, and have achieved national recognition.
Teaching of the department places equal emphases on fundamentals and practical skills – on the one hand, trainings in basic knowledge and skills are emphasized pursuant to the practical nature of design; on the other hand, students are encourage to develop their sensitivity toward the surrounding environment, and understanding of the impact of contemporary technology, social and economic development on their field of study. By taking advantage of Shenzhen’s strategic location, the department strives to face new problems and challenges raised by contemporary society and foster quality talents which at the same time have profound understanding of the basics of the subject and are well adapted to the requirements of our time.
The curriculum and teaching of the city planning program feature several unique characters:
1. comprehensive design teaching
Built upon the architectural program, the city planning curriculum expands to encompass knowledge of environmental and urban design so as to foster talents of a comprehensive understanding of urban physical planning.
The first three years of the program rely on basic architectural training. In the fourth year, beginning with case studies and analysis, basic theories and practical knowledge of city planning, residential area planning and environmental design will be included in the curriculum. The fifth year will emphasize more on comprehensive training and over professional skills and knowledge.
2. close link with related fields
Connectivity among architectural, urban and environmental design is emphasized in the program. Built up a solid foundation of basic architectural training, and incorporating background knowledge of urban design, environmental design, as well as sociology, economics, cultural studies, the program will help the students to command comprehensive knowledge of physical environment.
3. drawing on the strength of the architectural program
The existent faculty of SUCACE features strong design talents. Most of our teachers are
quite accomplished in theoretical learning and have rich experience in planning practice. Over the years, they have provided successful planning schemes of science and technology parks, university campuses, residential areas, and urban centers. This emphasis on “practical ability” forms a sound foundation for a teaching method reminiscent of the Bauhaus tradition.
4. a teaching that combines theory and practice
City planning and design is a subject of practical application. Through nearly two decades’ accumulation and development, the architectural department has establish one of the best architectural library in China. The strategic location of Shenzhen also facilitates frequent academic exchange with Hong Kong, Macau and foreign countries so that the students are constantly informed of the latest development of the planning profession. Meanwhile, close working relationship between the department and SUIADR guarantees remarkable opportunities of professional practice for teachers and students alike.
5. a teaching philosophy that reflects local characteristics
Shenzhen has been in the forefront of China’s reforms and OPEN POLICY. It enjoys a more favorable economic development and comparatively mature market economy. Its city planning and development constantly face new challenges, while its sub-tropic climate and unique cultural factors promote an ongoing quest for relevant planning theories and methodology.
Department of Civil Engineering
Originally called the Department of Structure and Civil Engineering, this department was founded in 1984 and formally enrolled its first students in 1985. It has two majors – civil engineering and construction management. Since 1999, the department also offers a master’s program in structural engineering. Another master’s program in construction management will be offered in 2004. Almost parallel to the development of the special economic zone, two decades of endeavor by teachers and student and unwavering support from the university have resulted in a well equipped Department of Civil Engineering with a highly qualified faculty, unique teaching curriculum, and numerous research achievements. It has provided many research and engineering talents for Shenzhen Special Economic Zone in the fields of civil engineering, construction management and urban development. The department has become an influential educational institution that links teaching, research and design practice. The department has a number of important laboratories and research centers which have achieved national and provincial research awards.
The Department of Civil Engineering attaches great importance to its graduate and undergraduate programs. All teachings are in conformance with relevant national requirements and adapted to local demand of Shenzhen city. Putting theory into practice has become a major feature in our teaching. The department has set up an advisory committee of educational cooperation which invites outside leading experts and professional to assist the formation of teaching curriculum and participate examinations of graduate theses. Internship in sizable construction firms or design institutes is compulsory for the students in order to ensure the acquisition of practical skills and knowledge.
The department currently has 320 undergraduate students. Our students are very active in all kinds of university activities and organizations.
