The early humanity's design activities, through using local resources, folk design and imperial tributes, reflect the consciousness of people-oriented design thought. With the development of the times, green design becomes the main direction of design development, there are many excellent examples consistent with green design concepts, but there are also a lot of design examples opposing the green design idea. Successful design education is the foundation of green design. The design educational pattern focusing on the function should be changed by setting up scientific design concepts to train students to follow the concept of people-oriented design and in pursuit of self-consciousness design.
