摘要 Henry Killam Murphy, an American architect in the 20th century (1877-1954), advocated the idea of adaptive architecture and the traditional renaissance design method, and believed that different countries and regions should have their own architectural art. He recognized and appreciated traditional Chinese architecture and used it in Chinese architectural design. Based on Henry Killam Murphy's design of Tsinghua University, Ginling College and Beijing Yenching University in China from 1914 to 1935,  this paper discussed and probed into the construction of Murphy creation concept and technique, and the selection of the Architectural History of China and Yang Bingde’s Blend of Chinese & Western Architectural Culture in Chinese Modern History, and also compared to Murphy and Chinese architects of  the 20th century, so as to demonstrate different design attitudes of Chinese traditional architectural culture and the western architectural culture during the fusion, and Henry Killam Murphy's impact and far-reaching significance on China's modern campus planning.
