「共生環境」指的是自然環境與人工環境在一種「有機的」條件下取得調和的生活環境樣態。在此背景下的「hometown Designer」，必須站在環境共生的觀點下，將「一個地方」視為一個整體的設計對象，並能在掌握該地方具有的個別問題後，提出對該地方的共生環境而言更適切的設計處方。
在邁向永續社會的目標下，探求自然環境與人工環境得以兩全的方法是當前全球共同面臨的問題，因此，本課程期望培養出具理解自然環境與人工環境的視野，且能在生活環境的構築中思索自然與人工雙向關係的整合型設計人才。
本課程與《環境共生設計導論》為連貫課程，本學期以「實踐」為核心，將以執行《環境共生設計導論》課程提案內容，並檢討執行成果的影響力為學習重點。

"Symbiotic environment" refers to a living environment in which the natural environment and the artificial environment are harmonious under an "organic" condition. In this context, the "hometown designer" must stand from the perspective of environmental symbiosis, regard "a place" as an overall design object, and be able to propose design prescriptions that are more appropriate for the symbiotic environment of the place after understanding the individual problems of the place.
With the goal of moving towards a sustainable society, exploring ways to balance the natural environment and the artificial environment is a common problem faced by the world. Therefore, this course hopes to cultivate integrated design talents who have the vision to understand the natural environment and the artificial environment, and who can think about the two-way relationship between nature and artificiality in the construction of living environments.
This course is a coherent course with "Introduction to Environmental Symbiosis Design". This semester is centered on "Practice", and the learning focus will be on implementing the content proposed in the "Introduction to Environmental Symbiosis Design" course and reviewing the impact of the implementation results.
