Abstract:After the adjustment of colleges and departments in 1952, the newly formed South China Institute of Technology Department of Architecture reached a new peak of development around 1958. Chen Boqi and other teachers and students of the Department of Architecture transformed the political movement into an opportunity for disciplinary construction, carried out large-scale planning and design of people’s communes, revised the teaching syllabus, started the urban planning major, established architectural design institute and subtropical architecture research office, and self-established the academic journal Architectural
Theory and Practice, etc. These achievements have had far-reaching effects and laid the development pattern of the trinity of the School of Architecture of South China University of Technology, the State Key Laboratory of Subtropical Building Science, and the Architectural Design and Research Institute. From the perspective of the history of architectural education, the year of 1958 was when the old traditions were discarded and the main characteristic of Chinese
architectural education in the new China was established; it was also a year to open a new tradition and lay a new pattern, which is of great significance.
