何謂建築史？從最表面的層次來看，歷史就是從過去、現在、未來中，找到自己安身立命的看法。但我們再深思，在「詩歌比歷史還真實」、「裝飾與罪惡」等各種的說法之下，歷史研究在二十世紀受到前所未有的危機，建築史也成為風格、材料與形式的礦石堆積場，難以成為一種觀看、思索並且製造世界的方法。直到1970年代「由下而上」的歷史學興起之後，以往被視為「次文化」的領域，包括社會史、物質與文化史的影響之下，建築學院中的歷史視野逐漸打開，建築史也重新回到當代人的關切之下。從史前、古典、中世紀、文藝復興到現代，是傳統藝術史的研究範疇。所謂的「西方」建築史似乎自成體系，囿於民族國家和觀光行銷的視角，我們多半習慣從疆域邊界來思考風格，然而在後殖民與行星視角之下，世界之間的相互依存與交織，在物質文明中也顯現出確鑿的證據。

建築研究同時是文化史的，包括繪畫、雕塑、文學與哲學等關於製造與創作的技藝，同時也是社會史的，包括習俗、環境、都市等周邊條件。前者強調典例（precedents）與創新的重要性，後者強調設計行為作為世界網絡的一部分。本課程以時間的因果關係為縱軸，空間地理的連結關係為橫軸，交織出人類歷史中的建築行為。藉由這樣的學習過程，同學將逐漸消化、吸收並理解建築作為一種人造物件，以及歷史過程中的形塑力量：包括社會、政治、地理與環境等因子，進而在歷史的光譜中找到自己的位置。一旦我們開啟了歷史意識（historical consciousness），從傳統到歷史的態度轉移也幫助建築師從當下、當代的困境中解放出來，進而深刻體會到根植過去的開放性。

What is architectural history? From the most superficial level, history is about finding your own perspective on how to live and settle in the past, present, and future. But if we think more deeply, under the various sayings such as "poetry is more real than history" and "ornament and sin", historical research has encountered an unprecedented crisis in the twentieth century. Architectural history has also become a dumping ground for styles, materials and forms, and it is difficult to become a method of seeing, thinking and making the world. It was not until the rise of "bottom-up" history in the 1970s that under the influence of fields previously considered "subculture", including social history, material and cultural history, the historical horizons in architectural schools gradually opened up, and architectural history returned to the concerns of contemporary people. From prehistory, classical, medieval, Renaissance to modern times, it is the research scope of traditional art history. The so-called "Western" architectural history seems to be its own system. Limited by the perspectives of nation-states and tourism marketing, we are mostly accustomed to thinking about style in terms of territorial boundaries. However, from a post-colonial and planetary perspective, the interdependence and interweaving of the world also shows conclusive evidence in material civilization.

Architectural research is at the same time cultural history, including painting, sculpture, literature, philosophy and other techniques related to manufacturing and creation, and it is also social history, including customs, environment, urban and other surrounding conditions. The former emphasizes the importance of precedents and innovations, while the latter emphasizes the design behavior as part of the world network. This course takes the causal relationship of time as the vertical axis and the connection relationship of space and geography as the horizontal axis, intertwining architectural behaviors in human history. Through this learning process, students will gradually digest, absorb and understand architecture as a man-made object and the shaping force in the historical process: including social, political, geographical and environmental factors, and then find their own position in the spectrum of history. Once we open up historical consciousness, the shift in attitude from tradition to history also helps architects liberate themselves from current and contemporary dilemmas, and then deeply appreciate the openness rooted in the past.
