本課程「自然永續議題」以「木建築」為中心講授，並讓學生發掘出木建築的優點，來理解到永續建築的一環。有別於上學期的「自然創新議題」，本學期更著重在木構造的科學性，來討論木構造建築的優越性，並針對未來建築趨勢多做論述。
在後半學期則以運用木建築最多的日本為例，講授日本木建築的歷史發展、運用在現代建築的案例。並以台灣當代案例介紹，做為整個學期課程的結論。

This course "Natural Sustainability Issues" focuses on "wooden architecture" and allows students to explore the advantages of wooden architecture and understand one aspect of sustainable architecture. Different from the "Natural Innovation Topic" last semester, this semester focuses more on the scientific nature of wooden structures to discuss the advantages of wooden structures and discuss future architectural trends.
In the second half of the semester, Japan, which uses most wooden buildings, will be used as an example to teach the historical development of Japanese wooden buildings and cases used in modern architecture. It also introduces Taiwan’s contemporary cases as the conclusion of the entire semester course.
