N2 - In 2015, around 300 higher education institutions in China offered programs in architecture or environmental design (interior and landscape). Most of these institutions also had a design organization. The origin of these university-run design institutes dates back to the 1950s, when the nascent Communist regime banned private design firms and, following the Soviet model, established state-owned design institutes. During the Great Leap Forward of 1958, architectural educators were encouraged to engage with production by joining university-run design institutes, offering their professional services to society, and training students in real-life projects. Although those design institutes were shut down during the Cultural Revolution, they were reestablished in the late 1970s; since then, they have been involved in architectural production and become a formidable design force in the market.
