近年來國內對於都市設計在觀念上或是實際之執行及推動上皆有愈來愈注重的趨勢。雖然台灣談都市設計的人很多，但是往往無法準確的定義”都市設計”和”都市建築”二者在專業的發展重點，執行機制及人才培養的側重。雖然都市設計和都市建築方法都有助於整體城市空間及環境的塑造，但它們的觀點和目標不同。都市設計涉及都市環境的整體規劃、組織和連通性，而都市建築則側重於該背景下單體建築的設計和建造。這些方法經常重疊，並且可以在創造有凝聚力、功能和美觀的都市環境方面相輔相成。他們的目標一致，雖然關懷重點及工作方式有所不同，這兩個學科的合作創造了精心設計、功能強大且宜居的城市環境。進入到21世紀，我們面臨的城市的重要的主題和新的挑戰。從整體城市發展政策到都市規劃與公共政策結合；從都市更新的質踐與反省，歷史保存，到對於弱勢鄰里的關懷；從對於環境保育的重視到生態城市及永續城市發展的宣言；甚至於都市大數據及AI技術對於未來都市決策及發展的影響等等，都說明了都市的設計及規劃所牽涉層面的廣泛及複雜性，及專業教育及人才培養的多元需求。
課程將分爲二個學期。每個學期以都市設計專題的Module為單元。第一個學期將藉由城市設計中不同的思維概念的研討，幫助同學在未來如從事城市設計相關題目時，能具備基礎性的理論及思考架構 。第二學期將從新加坡的城市發展經驗出發，結合相關的成功案例，幫助同學建立一個城市設計範疇及城市設計相關議題的認知。二個學期同學可以選擇修第一學（二學分）或全年二個學期（四學分）。
In recent years, domestic trends have paid more and more attention to urban design in terms of conceptual or actual implementation and promotion. Although there are many people in Taiwan who talk about urban design, they often cannot accurately define the key points of professional development, the implementation mechanism and talent training. Although urban design and urban construction methods both help shape the overall urban space and environment, their views and goals are different. Urban design involves the overall planning, organization and connection of the urban environment, while urban architecture focuses on the design and construction of single buildings in this context. These methods are often heavy and can be combined in creating cohesive, functional and beautiful urban environments. Their goals are consistent. Although the concerns and working methods vary, the collaboration between these two subjects creates a carefully designed, powerful and livable urban environment. Entering the 21st century, we face important themes and new challenges in the city. From the overall urban development policy to the integration of urban planning and public policy; from the quality and reflection of urban renewal, historical preservation, to the concerns of weak neighborhoods; from the emphasis on environmental conservation to the declaration of ecological cities and sustainable urban development; even the impact of urban data and AI technology on future urban decisions and development, etc., it all explains the broad and complexity of the urban design and planning, as well as the diverse needs of professional education and talent training.
The course will be divided into two sessions. Each period is based on the Module of urban design topics as a unit. The first period will help students develop basic theories and thinking structures when they are engaged in urban design related topics in the future. The second period will be developed from Singapore's urban development experience, combining relevant successful cases, and helping students establish a city design scope and understanding of urban design related topics. Students in the two periods can choose to take the first degree (secondary score) or two periods (fourth grades).
都市設計在國外一直是一個重要的環境規劃的重要學科。著名的學府如哈佛大學，賓州大學及哥倫比亞大學甚至有專設的都市設計學位部門。在台灣相對來説過於注重都市計劃及建築的二端，相對來説，都市設計這種跨領域的學科比較不受重視。我們如何能克服一個長久以來為專業所驅策的教育問題：傾向於簡化知識並將都市/區域住居這種複雜問題理解為技術、方法、具能力證明的購物單？通常專業鑒定的過於簡化地羅列所必須教育的主題，使其停留在僵固的技術典範構架，圍繞著政府和計劃合法性的層次。 在本門課中，我們將嘗試將都市設計的理論與實踐建構在以TAMED（Technical， Analytical，Multicultural， Ecological， Design）的相關文獻論述及實例出發的結構，建立一個結合人文思考的對於都市設計的基礎思考及認識。
Urban design has always been an important subject in environmental planning abroad. Famous academic institutions such as Harvard University, Binzhou University and Colombia University even have specialized urban design departments. In Taiwan, the two ends of focusing on urban planning and architecture, Kobe, a cross-regional academic in urban design, is not valued. How can we overcome an educational problem that has been driven by a profession for a long time: to tend to simplify knowledge and to understand urban/regional residence as a technical, methodical, and proven shopping list? Usually, professionally designated the topic of education that is necessary to be educated in a simple manner, leaving it to a rigid technical classical structure, covering the levels of government and planning legitimacy. In this course, we will try to construct the theory and practice of urban design in the structure developed with relevant text descriptions and examples of TAMED (Technical, Analytical, Multicultural, Ecological, Design), to establish a basic thinking and understanding of urban design that combines humanistic thinking.
