本課程旨在彌補傳統建築史論課程中，對於「在此時、此地（Here and Now）」正在發生的建築實踐之關注缺口。在學習歷史或當代的西方、東洋案例之餘，希望引導學生將視線轉向與其生命經驗重疊、空間距離接近的台灣當代案例。課程架構希望透過微觀的「構造解剖」與宏觀的「社會掃描」兩大部分，嘗試讓學生理解建築作為一種「現在進行式」，在社會困境、法規制度與資本邏輯的夾縫中，尋找主體性的生存空間。

第一階段將由主授課老師從「建構（Tectonic）」的辭源學根源出發，重新思考建築作為一種「製作藝術（Poesis）」的本質。我們將跳脫傳統建築史中關於「風格」或「裝飾」的表面爭議，轉而關注建築如何透過材料的真實構築。主要參考以國內案例構築討論的經典雜誌⟪實構築⟫中案例，探討建築師們如何透過結構的重量感與非線性地景的構築，或分析其如何利用材料的接合與細部的精確度，如何在必須抵抗法規、制度、施工品質等困境中，仍建立出這些具備構造討論深度的地域語彙。

第二階段則橫向擴張至台灣當代建築社會現象，邀請四位客座老師進行專題論述，掃描當代台灣建築的不同面相：包括「日本建築師在台灣」的後殖民現象、「藝術節慶」的臨時構築、「公共建築」的制度枷鎖與突破，以及「房地產建築」的資本主義順從或反抗。主授老師將於每次客座專題後整理議題，次週進行對談，以一種新的臨場腦力激盪的方式來激起更多思考可能性。

This course aims to fill the gap in traditional architectural history courses that pay attention to the architectural practice that is happening in the "Here and Now". In addition to studying historical or contemporary Western and Eastern cases, we hope to guide students to turn their attention to Taiwanese contemporary cases that overlap with their life experiences and are close in space. The curriculum structure hopes to help students understand architecture as a "present process" through the two parts of microscopic "tectonic anatomy" and macroscopic "social scanning", and to find the living space of subjectivity in the gap between social dilemmas, legal systems and capital logic.

In the first stage, the main lecturer will start from the etymological roots of "Tectonic" and rethink the nature of architecture as a "Poesis". We will break away from the superficial disputes about "style" or "ornament" in traditional architectural history, and instead focus on how architecture is truly constructed through materials. Mainly referring to the cases in "Real Construction", a classic magazine that discusses domestic case construction, it explores how architects use the weight of the structure and the construction of non-linear landscapes, or analyze how they use the joints of materials and the precision of details, and how they still establish these regional vocabularies with depth of structural discussion despite the dilemma of having to resist regulations, systems, construction quality, etc.

The second stage expanded horizontally to the social phenomenon of contemporary architecture in Taiwan, inviting four guest teachers to give special discussions and scan the different aspects of contemporary Taiwanese architecture: including the post-colonial phenomenon of "Japanese architects in Taiwan", the temporary construction of "art festivals", the institutional shackles and breakthroughs of "public buildings", and the capitalist compliance or resistance of "real estate architecture". The lead teacher will sort out the topics after each guest topic and conduct a dialogue the following week, using a new on-the-spot brainstorming method to stimulate more thinking possibilities.
