Abstract：This paper proposes a pedagogical approach to spatial understanding, rooted in the holistic philosophy of “General Design”. Drawing on the curriculum and exercises of the first-year architectural Design Foundation course at Shenzhen University as a case study, it illustrates how the program is structured to cultivate students’ competencies across five key dimensions: systems and observation, scale and measurement, body and fabrication, perception and tectonics, and the interplay of place and environment. This interdisciplinary design education serves as a bridge to the broader spectrum of human settlement disciplines. By immersing students in the intricate elements that constitute built environments and physical spaces, it fosters a deep familiarity with the compositional fundamentals of their future professional domain. This approach prioritizes developing spatial cognition skills rooted in actual environments, enabling the integration into the broader intellectual structure of human settlement disciplines.
