Since the 21st century, the development of Chinese rural building design has also been nearly 20 years, and now it is facing a crisis of homogenization. Based on CNKI and WOS, this paper summarizes and analyzes the research literature on Chinese rural public building design, and traces the process of research on Chinese rural public building design in the past 20 years. With the help of the design plan of Huaerhui Youth Innovation Center in Jinshan District, Shanghai, and a comparative analysis of the realistic cases with serious homogeneity in China, it is proposed that the design of new rural public building design needs not only to have local cultural representation, but also to have a timely form in order to design a sustainable, dynamic and attractive “landscape” for the countryside.
