ABSTRACT: The timber architecture education framework at Zhejiang University (ZJU), driven by Lab MUGO, is a comprehensive tripartite structure that includes undergraduate basic training, postgraduate advanced training, and doctoral research training. Over the course of four years, this framework has achieved significant milestones, including pedagogical innovations like tiered curricula, groundbreaking doctoral research, national competition successes, and international initiatives such as global summer schools. This paper examines the implementation of the framework, evaluates its achievements and experiences, and proposes strategic improvements through curriculum restructuring and enhanced global competency. These enhancements strive to consolidate ZJU’s role as a key player in timber architecture education in China, propelling sustainable architectural development across China and extending its influence globally.
