冯纪忠20世纪50年代在同济大学推行的“空间原理”教学体系,是中国乃至全球第一个以空间为主线、全面组织各年级建筑设计教学的体系。通过不同年级、不同空间类型的练习。比如大空间塑造、空间排比、空间顺序等。结合课程组织,加上讲述和教授工作方法,让学生掌握设计原理。改变过去根据类型教学的缺陷,教授原理而不是经验。让学生可以举一反三。“空间原理”既超越了形式主义和功能主义。也有设计方法本土化的意识。
The "Space combination design principle" carried out by Feng Jizhong in the 1950s in Tongji University, was the first architecture design education system in China even in the world, used space as fundamental framework, and all grades of the school were organized to follow this framework. Through different grades and types exercises of space, like space shaping, spatial parallelism, the order of space, students can master the principles of design combine with curriculum organization and teaching design methods. Teaching design principles rather than design experience were different from teaching by architectural types, so students can learn method and can design by analogy. "Space combination design principle" thus beyond formalism and functionalism, also refer to localization.
