台灣已逐步踏入開發國家之林，隨著歲月的流逝及都市化的影響，越來越多的建築面臨拆除及老舊損毀的命運，其中有諸多建築因其在歷史發展、建築技術、以及社會文化上扮演著重要的角色，承載著許多重要的文化資產訊息，因之成為國家的文化資產（cultural property）而被命名為古蹟或歷史建築。透過這些古蹟及歷史建築，不僅使我們得以與過往的歷史接續，了解過往先人的智慧，並可藉由過往的歷史重新審視現在。為了讓後代子孫有機會一窺前人的智慧，故而如何將其保存並延續到未來，遂成當代的我們責無旁貸的責任。
「保存」的工作是一項與時間對抗的工作，其最終目的在將建築形貌留存，並延續到未來，其涉及了形貌價值的研究、材料修復與保存的技術、以及再利用的設計。本課程旨在教導同學有關歷史性建築保存的概念、保存的方式、保存工作的內容、操作的模式、以及再利用，除了課堂講述外，並藉由實例的參訪及解析，加強同學對保存與再利用工作的認知與體認。
課程內容主要分成七部分：一為文化資產保存之觀念及相關法令，講述內容包括修復倫理與原則，以及國際文化資產保存有關修復倫理與原則之相關法令；二為臺灣傳統建築，課程內容包括傳統建築的組群佈局與分類構造、傳統宗教建築、傳統建築裝飾藝術，並透過臺灣傳統建築校外教學，讓同學藉由實際的參訪強化對台灣傳統建築的認識，並驗證課堂所學；三為舊建築再利用，包括保存的觀念及文化資產保存的基本概念與趨勢、再利用空間設計策略與案例探討；四為文化資產的保存與修復，課程內容包括古蹟修復調查研究概要，建築偵探--傳統建築之形貌變遷與年代研判，城市場所精神的尋找與重塑--談高雄市定古蹟打狗英國領事館、登山古道及水產試驗場之保存；五為文化資產與城市保存，課程內容旨在引領同學認識城市保存，以捷克布拉格與庫倫諾夫為例，介紹這個在歷史建築及城市保存上極具特色的成功案例；六為中外舊建築保存與再利用設計手法分析報告，讓同學透過再利用案例的解析，落實上課所得，並進行分析結果之分享與討論。期中考則透過圖像記憶的方式認識傳統建築及文化資產。

Taiwan has gradually entered the forest of a developed country. As time goes by and the impact of urbanization, more and more buildings are facing the fate of being demolished and old and damaged. Many of these buildings play an important role in historical development, construction technology, and social culture. They carry many important cultural asset messages and have become national cultural assets (cultural property) and are named monuments or historical buildings. Through these monuments and historical buildings, we can not only connect with the past history and understand the wisdom of our ancestors, but also re-examine the present through past history. In order to give future generations the opportunity to have a glimpse of the wisdom of their predecessors, how to preserve and extend it into the future has become our unshirkable responsibility in the contemporary era.
The work of "preservation" is a work against time. Its ultimate goal is to preserve the architectural form and extend it into the future. It involves the research of form value, material restoration and preservation technology, and reuse design. This course aims to teach students about the concepts of historic building preservation, preservation methods, preservation work content, operation modes, and reuse. In addition to classroom lectures, it also strengthens students’ understanding and understanding of preservation and reuse through the visit and analysis of examples.
The course content is mainly divided into seven parts: the first is the concept of cultural asset preservation and related laws and regulations. The content includes the ethics and principles of restoration, as well as the relevant laws and regulations related to the restoration ethics and principles of international cultural asset preservation; the second is Taiwan’s traditional architecture. The course content includes the group layout and classification structure of traditional buildings, traditional religious buildings, traditional Traditional architectural decorative art, and through off-campus teaching of Taiwanese traditional architecture, students can strengthen their understanding of Taiwanese traditional architecture through actual visits and verify what they have learned in the classroom; the third is the reuse of old buildings, including the concept of preservation and the basic concepts and trends of cultural asset preservation, reused space design strategies and case studies; the fourth is cultural assets Preservation and restoration, the course content includes an overview of the investigation and research on the restoration of historical monuments, architectural detectives - the morphological changes and age analysis of traditional buildings, the search and reshaping of the spirit of urban places - talking about the preservation of Kaohsiung's designated historic sites, the British Consulate, the mountaineering trail and the aquatic product test site; the fifth is cultural assets and urban preservation, the course content is aimed at Lead students to understand urban preservation, taking Prague and Kulunov in the Czech Republic as examples to introduce this unique and successful case in historical architecture and urban preservation; sixth is an analysis report on design techniques for the preservation and reuse of old buildings at home and abroad, allowing students to implement what they learned from the class through the analysis of reuse cases, and share and discuss the analysis results. The mid-term exam focuses on understanding traditional architecture and cultural assets through image memory.
