日本文化自20世紀以降，在全球化的文化場域中逐漸展現強勢姿態，從動漫、茶道等傳統與當代表現形式廣受國際矚目，成為全球文化交流中不可忽視的力量。在建築領域，日本建築以其獨特的空間美學、精緻的細部操作、對自然與場所感的敏銳回應，以及對永續性與環境倫理的深層關懷，對當代建築理論與實踐構成了深遠影響。2024年，普立茲克建築獎頒予山本理顯，使日本建築師在該獎項的得主人數上位居全球之冠。若將普立茲克獎視為國際建築界對當代建築價值之最高形式的認可，則日本建築師的持續獲獎，無疑顯示出現代建築發展百年之後，其價值判準已出現明顯的轉向。
在此脈絡下，亟需進一步探究的是：日本建築在何種文化條件與歷史脈絡中孕育出這種可被國際體系高度認可的建築特質？其所體現的空間觀、材料觀與社會觀如何在以西方現代性為主導的建築框架中找到其定位，乃至形成某種具有反身性批判潛能的建築語言？對於身處非西歐文化語境的建築教育與實踐者而言，日本建築的國際成功不僅是一個值得借鏡的案例，更是一個促使我們反思全球建築價值流動與文化位置再定位的關鍵契機。
本課程為東海建築＋台中綠美圖＋SANAA的三方合作，結合建築的「觀察」、「表達」與「認識」，課程主體以在台灣完成作品的日本建築師如安藤忠雄、妹島和世等建築師的設計活動為主軸，帶領同學認識日本現代建築的發展，並深入說明與探討其背後的生成脈絡及文化意涵。另一方面，累積對於日本現代建築基礎認識的同時，同學也將以綠美圖為觀察對象，透過實地參訪與紀錄，建構對於綠美圖的說明敘事內容。於此之上，同學必須以綠美圖建築導覽員的身份，於綠美圖所規劃之週末定期導覽活動中，活用前述編寫之敘事內容，實際為一般民眾進行建築介紹。此外，本課程而也將視情況延伸舉辦東京建築旅行等移地教學活動。
Since the 20th century, Japanese culture has gradually developed a strong attitude in the global cultural field. It has been widely regarded as international attractions from traditional and representative forms such as animation and tea ceremony, and has become a force that cannot be ignored in global cultural exchanges. In the architectural field, Japanese architecture has a profound impact on contemporary architectural theory and practical structure with its unique spatial aesthetics, exquisite detailed operations, sensitive responses to nature and the scene, and deep-seated relationship to perpetuity and environmental ethics. In 2024, the Prizik Architecture Award was given to Yamamoto, making Japanese architects the highest in the world in the number of winners of this award. If the Prizek Award is regarded as the recognition of the highest form of contemporary building value in the international architecture community, the continuous award of Japanese architects undoubtedly shows that the value judgment has shown a clear turn after the development of modern buildings for a hundred years.
Under this structure, it is urgent to further explore: What cultural conditions and historical structures did Japanese architecture give birth to such architectural characteristics that can be highly recognized by international systems? How can the spatial view, material view and social view find its position in the architectural framework dominated by Western modernity, and even form a certain architectural language with reflexive critical potential? For architecture education and practicers who are not in Western European cultural contexts, the international success of Japanese architecture is not only a case worth borrowing, but also a key mechanism that prompts us to reflect on the global architectural value flow and cultural position repositioning.
This course is a tripartite cooperation between Donghai Architecture + Taichung Green Picture + SANAA, combining the "view", "expression" and "knowledge" of the building. The course mainly focuses on the design activities of Japanese architects such as Tadao Ando and Kazuo Meishi who completed their works in Taiwan. It leads classmates to understand the development of Japanese modern architecture, and in-depth explanation and discussion of the generational structures and cultural implications behind it. On the other hand, while accumulating the understanding of modern Japanese architecture foundations, students will also use green pictures as the target of observation, and through actual visits and records, they will construct the explanation of green pictures. Above this, students must use the content of the above-mentioned edited work as a green art architecture guide and actually introduce the architecture to the general public in the regular weekend navigation activities planned by green art. In addition, this course will also extend the situation to organize local teaching activities such as Tokyo construction travel.
本課程的核心目標在於引導學生深入理解日本建築於二十與二十一世紀在全球化與國際化的文化與建築脈絡中，所展現出的獨特價值與深遠影響。在全球建築語彙多元共構、但仍以西方價值為主導的現代建築體系中，日本建築師如何憑藉對空間、細部與文化的獨特詮釋，獲得國際認可甚至引領潮流，成為本課程探討的核心議題。透過對具代表性的日本建築師及其作品的剖析，學生將掌握其美學觀點、設計手法與背後文化脈絡，並進一步理解在全球化過程中，日本建築如何形塑其文化位置、回應國際關注，乃至於對非西方地區如台灣等地所提供的啟發與可能性。
The core goal of this course is to guide students to understand the unique values and profound impacts that Japanese Architecture showed in the cultural and internationalization of the twenty-first century culture and architecture. In a modern architectural system with diverse structures in the global architecture, but still dominated by Western values, how Japanese architects can gain international recognition and even lead trends through their unique interpretations of space, details and culture, becoming the core topic of this course to explore. Through the analysis of representative Japanese architects and their works, students will master their aesthetic views, design techniques and cultural ties behind them, and further understand how Japanese architecture shapes its cultural location, responds to international concerns, and even the initiation and possibilities provided by non-Western regions such as Taiwan.
