Abstract
During the construction of the Third Front, the short-term construction of largescale industrial and civil facilities allowed for an attempt at regionalism of industrial architecture.
Scattered in Third Front factories and mining bases, the designers of the infrastructure department
inspired innovative use of local knowledge, and architectural education and training methods of
the same period showed the characteristics of the times. With an oral interview with Mr. Deng
Changyuan, a designer in the infrastructure department of the Puqi Textile General Factory in
Hubei Province, this paper explores how dynamic social changes during the war transition period
led to a paradigm shift in modern Chinese architectural education during the planned economy, and
how the communities carried out design works guided by the new paradigm.
