Features: Based on nearly a decade of teaching practices in the architectural design foundation training at the Department of Architecture, Tongji University, this book approaches architectural design from a design perspective, primarily focusing on morphological composition. It integrates concepts such as force in modern visual design, material and structural characteristics, and spatial constraints to comparatively rationally introduce some fundamental principles of morphological design. The content is presented in a step-by-step manner, making it easy to grasp. At the same time, the book and its examples emphasize the design of three-dimensional forms, texture forms, and spatial forms, while also paying attention to their integration with architectural design assignments. This book serves as a textbook and teaching reference for students in architecture, landscape planning, and related fields, and also holds reference value for a broad range of engineering design professionals.
