China's traditional design education model faces severe challenges, as long-standing emphases on hand-drawing skills and mastery of classical software increasingly fail to meet the evolving demands of the AIGC era. This paper proposes that design education must undergo a comprehensive Four-Dimensional Reconstruction encompassing four key dimensions: educational objectives, curriculum system, assessment mechanisms, and pedagogical environments. Drawing on a systematic literature review, the study develops a conceptual model aimed at cultivating design talents equipped with AI literacy, critical thinking, and interdisciplinary integration capabilities. The findings indicate that design education in the AIGC era requires not merely technological updates, nor isolated reforms in educational philosophy, teaching methods, or evaluation systems, but rather a holistic, all-dimensional reconstruction to align with the profound changes in the field.
