This book is one of the outcomes of English Program
of Master in Architecture (EPMA) in Tsinghua
School of Architecture. The EPMA of Tsinghua
University’s School of Architecture was aimed
to create a new platform for teaching master
courses of architecture for international students.
We intended to enlarge the reach of our school’s
teaching philosophy by integrating a critical understanding
of regional conditions with a global
and multi-disciplinary network, and to have this
teaching environment be engaged with the international
dialogue.Since the establishment of the
program in 2008, we have successfully attracted
91 international students from more than 30
countries in all five continents in the world.
Within our international program, we combine
the critical academic atmosphere with real-world
issues that arise from the current process of
China’s rapid urbanization. Students are encouraged
to be critical, have be able to think reflexively
in analyzing the real situation, and to create from
a specific cultural context. The program includes
4 theory courses with 4 design studios. The first
theme for theory course and design studio is local,
with the theory course of Chinese local archicteture
and the design studio of Architecture of
space sprite. The second theme is contemporary,
with the theory course of world contemporary architectural
design trend and design studio of new
design method including parametric design. The
third theme is urban, with theory course of development
of chinese cities and the urban design
studio. The fourth theme is technology, with the
theory course of green building and green building
design studio.
Urban design studio is the course facing the urban
issues among the above studios. It is aimed
to set up a cross-culture platform of the urban
topics discussion for the international students. In
recent years, Knowledge City, Ecology City, Safe
city and Edge City are selected as the themes
of the studio. In 2017, Sharing City is chosen as
the theme for the joint studio set up by School
of Architecture in Tsinghua University and School
of Design & Environment in National University
of Singapore. The “Sharing Cities” studio aims to
provide solutions to emerging concept of sharing,
and responds to the idea of public space sharing
and sustainable urban development from social,
economic and humanitarian perspectives. The
success of Tsinghua-NUS joint studio pushes
forward the international cooperation process of
urban design studio and other studios in EPMA.
We hope the improving EPMA and urban design
studio would act as a window for international
exchange students from all over the world to get
access to the Chinese architectural and urban
knowledge base and practice.

本書是清華大學建築學院英文碩士項目（EPMA）的教學成果繫列叢書之一。建築
學院英文碩士項目旨在為國際學生搭建一個建築學碩士課程的教學平臺，致力於加
深對於整合區域環境和全球性多學科網絡的批判性理解，並注重實現國際對話中的
教學環境。該項目自2008年創建以來，已成功吸引了來自5大洲30多個國家的91位
國際學生。
英文碩士項目將重要學術領域和當前高速發展的城市化進程中的現實問題結合起
來。項目鼓勵學生開發批判性思維，能夠獨立思考實際情況，並能在特定文化背景
下有所創造。主干課程設置包括4門理論課和4門設計課，相互對應。組課程
主題為“鄉土”，包括中國本土建築介紹和具有場所精神的本土建築設計課程；第
二組課程主題為“當代”，包括當今建築設計思潮介紹和包括參數化設計在內的新
設計方法課程；第三組課程為“城市”，包括當代中國城市發展介紹和城市設計課
程；第四組課程為“技術”，包括綠色建築理論及實踐介紹和綠色建設設計課程。
城市設計課程是上述課程中面向城市問題的設計課。課程旨在建立一個跨文化的平
臺，讓不同國家的學生就城市發展的相關話題進行交流探討。近年來課程選題涉
及“知識城市”“生態城市”“安全城市”“邊緣城市”等。2017年城市設計課程
是與新加坡國立大學設計與環境學院共同進行的聯合教學，選定“共享城市”為主
題，旨在為正在廣泛興起的共享理念提供空間解決方案，並從社會、經濟和人文角
度回應公共空間的共享與城市的可持續發展。此次聯合教學取得了良好的成效，為
城市設計課程以及其他英文碩士項目課程的進一步國際化合作奠定基礎。
我們希望，不斷探索完善中的英文碩士項目及城市設計課程，能成為世界各地的國
際交換生的窗口，使他們得以接觸和了解中國城市和建築的基礎情況和實踐。

The rapid pace of change in the cultural and economic
landscape of China compels us to rethink
the nature of the built environment afresh. While
modes of production and consumption undergo
breakneck speeds of transformation, the city and
buildings remain unmoved, and innovations in
building technology and perception crawl in snail
pace by comparison. With the advent of smart
phones ten years ago and the tens of millions of
Apps that were developed since, urban living had
changed dramatically. Is it possible for the physical
environment to re-conceive in tandem with
such changes in lifestyle, habit, social cohesion
and other pertinent issues. How can we conceptualize
the city of today and perhaps of tomorrow?
These are the questions grappled by architecture
students from Tsinghua University and National
University of Singapore in the Sharing Cities
workshops and studios. The collaboration not
only brings students from different international
backgrounds together, but also young talents to
imagine the future. They share the concerns of
the current development in Beijing and Singapore
as two of the most exciting and rapidly developing
mega cities in the world and also project the
future of urban and building designs in these cities
that would embrace co-sharing as a practice
for urban life. Studio is the key arena for postulations,
debates, expressions and substantiations
of ideas and collaborative studio, such as this one
presented in the book, deepens the experience
further.
The choice for the topic and format of the studio
are relevant to the issues at hand, the real life
situation that we are living in, and the method
for eliciting and producing innovative ideas and
proposals. The students have been investigating
the nature of co-sharing as well as the myths surrounding
this mode of consumption. They have
explored different options and provided design
solutions that would facilitate various forms of
sharing: culture, heritage, transport, to name a
few. Through research, case studies and design
activities, the students collectively and individually
have gained awareness and insights in this
fast growing living pattern. They are able to hone
their design skill too to facilitate and inspire the
increasing popular lifestyle. This book bears witness
to their achievement.

前言二
中國文化和經濟格局的快速變化促使我們重新思考建成環境的本質。相較於生產和
消費方式經歷的急速變革，城市和建築仍然止步不前，建築技術和觀念的創新也進
展緩慢。隨著十年前智能手機的出現，以及隨之而生的數以千萬計的應用程序，城
市生活發生了巨大的變化。物質環境是否可以隨著生活方式、習慣、社會凝聚力和
其他相關問題的變化而重新建構？我們又應該如何概念化今天或許明天的城市？
這些問題正是清華大學-新加坡國立大學建築繫的共享城市合作設計課程和設計工
作坊的關注所在。這一合作不僅集結了不同國際背景的學生，並且為這些年輕人纔
提供了一個暢想未來的機會。以世界上發展活躍、迅速的兩座特大城市——北
京和新加坡為對像，他們共同關注城市當前的發展狀況，並探討了未來的城市和建
築設計如何承載並推動共享作為城市生活的一種實踐。設計課是思想形成、論辯、
表達及深化的重要平臺，而正如此書所呈現的，聯合設計課恰恰將這一經驗進一步
深化。
設計課主題和形式的選擇脫離不開我們當前需要面對的問題和所處的現實生活，同
時也關繫到激發和產生創新想法和方案的方法。學生們針對共享的本質以及圍繞這
一消費模式的諸多疑惑進行了深入的研究。他們探索了不同的可能性，並提出了能
夠促進不同類型如文化、遺產、交通等共享活動的一繫列方案。通過研究、案例學
習和設計探索，無論是在整體還是個人層面，學生們都強化了對這一迅速普及的生
活模式的認識。他們也磨煉了自己的設計技能，並以此來推動這一日益流行的生活
方式。這本書見證了他們取得的成績。
