邁入二十一世紀已經二十年，不論是國族主義式的領土文化觀念，或是將設計作為「成品」（product）的風格分類學和型態演化史，都已不再能夠滿足我們的需求。無論是從社會勞動的底層、政治文化的上層，乃至於氣候環境的包被滋養，這些生產與再生產的「過程」（process）都是我們好奇探索的對象。這一門單一學期兩學分的課，嘗試在時間的進程中進行一些空間的跳躍和思想的冒險，提出地理的空間模式與歷史的因果關係。課程的目的是希望能夠提供設計學習者一些談論歷史和環境的基本語彙，以及參與世界創造的不同方法；也嘗試整理出人類與環境之間的關係，它們如何體現成為建成形式，又如何進一步影響「非人類」環境（non-human environment，也就是所謂的自然）的演變？這些基本短暫的探索，希望能夠作為不斷發展變化的世界中的備忘錄，以及參與未來創造的參考準則。
我們平日所接觸的環境，絕大多數受到人類行為的影響，有些是刻意的，有些是無意的，然而只有極少部分出自設計的圖桌。我們的山海、城市、村落，經常是各種可見和不可見的力量交流下所共同塑造。我們應該如何看待地景，作為生物與公民，作為創作者與居民，同時在不同身份之間轉換？設計師又如何悠遊於各種範疇和領域之間，從個人、社區、城市，乃至於領域和地球村？時間是歷史的度量，人類則是劇本的創作者，也是地理空間中的演員。各種人、事、物在其中攪拌旋轉，有時候我們只能抓住一些頭緒，有時候我們可以談論其中的來龍去脈。Twenty years after entering the twenty-first century, whether it is the nationalist concept of local culture, or the style classification and evolution history of designing it as a "finished product", it can no longer meet our needs. Whether it is from the bottom layer of social movement, the top layer of political culture, and even the envelopment of the climate environment, these "processes" of production and reproduction are the objects we are curious about exploring. This single two-school course attempts to perform some space jumps and adventures in the course of time, and proposes the causal relationship between geographical spatial patterns and history. The purpose of the course is to provide designers with some basic languages about history and environment, as well as different ways to participate in the creation of the world; to also try to sort out the relationship between humans and environments, how do they become built forms, and how can they further affect the evolution of "non-human environment, which is called nature)? These basic short explorations hope to be a reference for keeping records in a constantly changing world, as well as references to future creation.
Most of the environments we come into contact with on weekdays are affected by human behavior, some are intentional and some are unintentional, but only a very small number are designed with tables. Our mountains, seas, cities, and villages are often shaped by the exchange of various visible and invisible forces. How should we view the landscape, as creatures and citizens, as creators and residents, and at the same time transform between different identities? How can designers travel between various types of areas and areas, from individuals, communities, cities, and even areas and global villages? Time is a measure of history, and humans are the creators of the script and actors in the geographical space. Various people, things and things are stirring and rotating in it. Sometimes we can only grasp some heads and sometimes we can discuss what comes to the dragon and go.
在景觀建築的領域中，所有現在或者是過去出現的景觀物，例如埃及的金字塔、法國的凡爾賽宮、紐約的中央公園、蘇州的拙政園、板橋的林家花園或者是台北的中正紀念堂、大安森林公園等，它們的出現都各自反應出其所處不同的時代、地區、文化、以及當時的生活方式與價值觀。我們可以肯定的說，任何一個景觀物都是在非常特定而細微的時間與空間場所組合下的產物。也因為如此，使得每一件景觀物都是獨一無二的。當我們在看待這些景觀物，除了審視其造型、欣賞其美感之外，更重要的是去了解那個造就了他們的原因。因為那才是真正創造出我們所見環境事物的原動力，也是景觀建築師們培養創造力的起點。
景觀史最重要的授課目的是能從過去許多實例中了解到種種美好而有意義的景觀事物，它們逐漸演變成形的過程與背景。這種了解將有助於景觀建築師擴展其閱讀地景的基礎能力，並且在各類規劃與設計的過程中作出正確而適切的決定。
課程內容涵蓋庭園概念的起源、古代與中古時期歐洲庭園、伊斯蘭庭園、義大利庭園、法國庭園、英國庭園、美國近代景觀與重要設計理論、日本庭園、中國庭園、現代台灣景觀等內容。
In the area of landscape architecture, all the landscapes that have appeared now or in the past, such as the pyramids in Egypt, the Vandevost Palace in France, the Central Park in New York, the Humble Administrator's Park in Suzhou, the Lin Family Garden in Banqiao, or the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei, and the Da'an Forest Park. Their appearances reflect the different eras, regions, cultures, and lifestyles and values of the time they are in. We can say for sure that any landscape is a product that is combined with space at a very specific and detailed time. Because of this, every sceneries are unique. When we look at these landscapes, in addition to examining their shapes and appreciating their beauty, it is more important to understand what made them. Because that is the driving force that truly creates the environmental things we see, and it is also the starting point for landscape architects to cultivate creative power.
The most important teaching purpose of landscape history is to learn from many examples of the past that beautiful and intentional landscape things gradually evolve and form the process and background. This understanding will help landscape architects expand their basic abilities in reading landscapes and make correct and appropriate decisions in various planning and design processes.
The course content covers the origin of the garden concept, the European gardens of ancient and medieval times, the Islamic gardens, the Italian gardens, the French gardens, the British gardens, the modern American landscape and important design theories, the Japanese gardens, the Chinese gardens, and the modern Taiwan landscape.
