1. 就現存中外建築學者所建構之重要著作論述，經由課堂導讀講解，協助學生理解對影響各不同時期重要建築思潮背後之主要哲學思想根源。
2. 針對各不同哲學思潮之價值辯證，檢視並評述受其影響之建築論述思潮，以師生共同討論方式，誘導養成學生獨立判斷思考與評論能力。
3. 利用建築實際案例評介與相關影片觀察，共同探討有關建築理論之定義、範疇、理念、實踐、詮釋與辯證等議題。

1. Based on the discussion of important works constructed by existing Chinese and foreign architectural scholars, through classroom introduction, it helps students understand the main philosophical roots behind the important architectural trends of different periods.
2. In view of the value dialectics of different philosophical trends, examine and comment on the architectural discourse trends influenced by them, and use teachers and students to discuss together to induce students to develop independent judgment, thinking and criticism abilities.
3. Use actual architectural case reviews and relevant video observations to jointly discuss issues related to the definition, scope, concepts, practice, interpretation and dialectics of architectural theory.

本課程主要講授內容大致分為兩部份：
(一) 建築意義之辯證：包含「第一章：從理型美學到機械美學之辯證」及「第二章：建築典範與範型移轉之思辯」兩關鍵議題之探討。
(二) 詮釋本質的模型：包含「第三章：現象本質意義之個人再詮釋學」、「第四章：場所感知溝通模式與建築語用自由度」及「第五章：意識形態與建築師之社會角色定位」等三關鍵議題之探討。
由前述兩部份有關建築意義與本質之辯證與詮釋模型之探索，期能建立一較嚴謹之建築論述內涵。

The main teaching content of this course is roughly divided into two parts:
(1) Dialectics of architectural significance: including the discussion of two key topics: "Chapter 1: Dialectics from rational aesthetics to mechanical aesthetics" and "Chapter 2: Thoughts on architectural paradigms and paradigm transfer".
(2) The model of the essence of interpretation: including the discussion of three key topics: "Chapter 3: Personal re-hermeneutics of the essential meaning of the phenomenon", "Chapter 4: Place perception communication mode and architectural pragmatic freedom" and "Chapter 5: Ideology and the social role positioning of architects".
Through the exploration of the dialectics and interpretation models of the meaning and essence of architecture in the two parts mentioned above, it is expected that a more rigorous architectural discussion connotation can be established.
