Abstract
Digital design and fabrication technology is stimulating a paradigm shift in architecture. The emerging form finding and materialisation approaches may curve the trajectory of a conventional pedagogical agenda. Thus, this paper argues that most architectural schools in China are indifferent to such a trend due to the current syllabus ignoring design and make synergy. It firstly reviews the discourse of a paradigm shift in architectural discipline, explains the rising digital trend within China's context. Followed by the discussion of an emerging ideology of digital craftsmen in education, which is further elaborated through the study of digital architectural studios taught in Western architectural schools. It concludes by suggesting a pedagogical approach, which promotes digital craftsmen, to be recognised in the current teaching ideology so that future generations of Chinese architects may prevail.
