配合系所強調學生辯證能力與批判性思考之養成等核心教學目標，本課程主要講授內容大致分為兩部份：
(一) 建築本質之辯證：包含「從理型美學到機械美學之辯證（Dialectic）」及「建築典範與範型轉移(paradigm shift)之思辯」兩關鍵議題之探討。
(二) 批判性詮釋模型：包含「現象本質意義之個人再詮釋學(critical re-interpretation)」、「場所感知溝通模式與建築語用自由度(freedom of architectural expression)」及「意識形態與建築師之社會角色定位(critical social responsibilities)」等三關鍵議題之探討。
由前述兩部份有關建築本質之辯證與批判性詮釋模型之探索，期能建立一較嚴謹之建築論述內涵，有助學生對建築專業學域應具備之基本態度與理念有更清楚與完整之認知。

In line with the core teaching objectives of the department, which emphasizes the cultivation of students' dialectical abilities and critical thinking, the main teaching content of this course is roughly divided into two parts:
(1) Dialectics of the essence of architecture: including the discussion of two key topics: "Dialectic from rational aesthetics to mechanical aesthetics" and "Contemplation of architectural paradigms and paradigm shift".
(2) Critical interpretation model: including the discussion of three key topics: "personal re-interpretation of the essential meaning of phenomena", "place awareness communication mode and freedom of architectural expression" and "ideology and the architect's social role positioning (critical social responsibilities)".
Through the exploration of the dialectical and critical interpretation model of the essence of architecture in the two parts mentioned above, it is expected that a more rigorous architectural discussion connotation can be established, which will help students have a clearer and more complete understanding of the basic attitudes and concepts that should be possessed in the field of architecture.

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.
