Abstract

Amidst the rapid technological advancements and increasing complexity of the construction industry, the demand for architects and engineers with comprehensive knowledge and interdisciplinary skills has grown significantly. Joint graduation projects, which involve students from related fields such as architecture, urban and rural planning, and landscape architecture, have emerged as an effective means to cultivate such skills. However, the status and development trends of joint graduation projects in Chinese architectural education remain unclear. This study aims to address this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of these projects using bibliometric and visualization methods. The results reveal that while the field is exhibiting an upward trend, there is a notable lack of high-level publications, highlighting the need for improved innovation. Therefore, this study proposes several strategies, including establishing stable activity brands, exploring multi-disciplinary collaboration models, and conducting projects with specific themes, to foster innovative and practical architectural talents through effective inter-university and inter-disciplinary collaboration.
