This module aims to synergize theoretical and professional knowledge through applied analytical and design skills necessary to understand the encompassing nature and complex processes of urban designing.
This module has the following objectives:
1. It seeks to strengthen students’ ability to understand the dynamic relations involving architectural cultures, forms, functions and meanings that urban design types and designing nature operate;
2. It seeks to equip students with comprehensive analytical skills for conducting urban design; and
3. It is aimed at develop and hone student’s ability to form integrated spatial structures and masterplans that serve to syntegrate between various core design discipline and their roles in shaping future built environmental design.This module aims to synergize theoretical and professional knowledge through applied analytical and design skills necessary to understand the encompassing nature and complex processes of urban designing.

作為一門專業必備的discipline課程，本課程接續四年級上學期的「都市計畫」課，將進一步帶領修課同學認識都市，並由其中理解專業者可以以何種角色介入都市空間的改善。 課程首先回顧近代都市空間設計/規劃領域的一些理念先行者、以及都市空間設計的具體實踐經驗來理解「都市設計」這一門專業；亦即，將我們過去一度聽聞過的都市設計流派與其創生的空間形式放回其被生產的時空，以及其所面對的都市情境，協助同學理解「『都市設計』這個專業為何而生？」、「到底為何而設計？」。其次，本課程則將透過都市計畫及建築技術規則(by-laws)所提供的種種管制工具，模擬介入城市的發展與變遷；亦即，熟悉「都市可以如何被設計？」。在進行前述的歷史回顧的同時，則透過學期報告的實際操作，以五都選舉後的台北、新北、台中、高雄四個都會區的都會與區域為關照的對象，讓同學將上、下兩學期之所學收攏於三月底的都市空間檢討報告之中。 因此，本課程將透過三條主線趨近都市設計專業： 1. 由都市設計論述發展的時空中理解都市設計 • 何種歷史或社會的因素催生了各不同年代的都市設計論述？ • 不同的都市設計論述意圖解決的都市問題為何？ • 論述如何實踐其自身？透過誰？透過何種政策？論述實踐過程中可依附的社會經濟土壤為何？ • 論述實踐的過程的扭曲以及設計與權力/利益選擇性的親近 • 全球化脈絡下都市新議程(agenda)的形成與典範的轉移（paradigm shift） 2. 由實質空間的解讀/尺度感的建立去掌握都市設計的操作工具 • 開發單元/建築線與街廓尺度的掌握 • 歷史街區的保存與窳漏地區的更新 • 以空間形式介入城市改革 3. 由永續角度體檢/理解當下都市空間設計
As a necessary discipline course for majors, this course follows the "Urban Planning" class in the first semester of the fourth grade. It will further lead students to understand the city and understand what role professionals can play in improving urban space. The course first reviews some of the conceptual forerunners in the field of modern urban space design/planning, as well as the specific practical experience of urban space design to understand the profession of "urban design"; that is, it combines the urban design schools we have heard of in the past and the ones they created. The spatial form is put back into the time and space where it was produced and the urban situation it faced, helping students understand "Why did the profession of 'urban design' come into being?" and "Why is it designed?" Secondly, this course will simulate the development and changes of cities through various control tools provided by urban planning and architectural technical regulations (by-laws); that is, to become familiar with "How can cities be designed?" While conducting the aforementioned historical review, through the practical operation of the semester report, the cities and regions of the four metropolitan areas of Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung after the five-city election were taken as the objects of concern, allowing students to compare the upper and lower two What I learned during the semester was summarized in the urban space review report at the end of March. Therefore, this course will approach the urban design major through three main lines: 1. Understanding urban design through the time and space in which urban design discourse develops • What historical or social factors gave rise to urban design discourse in different eras? • What urban problems do different urban design discourses intend to solve? • How does discourse practice itself? Through whom? Through what policy? What is the socio-economic soil that can be relied upon in the process of discussing practice? • The distortion of the process of discussing practice and the selective closeness of design to power/interests • The formation of a new urban agenda and paradigm shift in the context of globalization 2. Interpretation of physical space/establishment of a sense of scale To master the operating tools of urban design • Mastering the scale of development units/building lines and street profiles • Preserving historical blocks and renewing missing areas • Intervening in urban reform in the form of space 3. Physical examination/understanding of current urban space design from the perspective of sustainability
