本課程為建築系二年級上學期必修課程，旨在建立同學對建築構造的「語言學式」理解。長期以來，建築構造的學習被困在一套「技術手冊式」的清單枚舉（enumeration）中——按照工種、材料、施工順序被拆解為獨立條目。然而在這個資訊檢索極度便利的時代，學生更需要的不是生硬地背誦構造的「單字」，而是掌握構造的「句法」（Syntax）——即理解材料與材料相遇時的邏輯關係。
本課程參照布希亞（Jean Baudrillard）《物體系》（Le Système des objets）對分類學的哲學反思，跳脫以工種、施工順序為主的傳統分類，而以五種「關係原型」作為骨架：一體成型（Monolithic）、堆疊（Stacking）、骨架與皮層(Frame + Skin)、軸向力(Axial / Tension)、以及公母扣合(Interlocking)。透過這套關係句法，我們將構造學的重點從「找答案」翻轉為「找可能」。
在方法上，本課程嘗試將「構」（Constitution）與「造」（Building / Making）暫時分離：先聚焦於材料之間的作用邏輯，再回頭補入具體的材料物質性。期待透過這樣的重新框架，讓構造不再是設計完成後的技術包裝，而是從設計的第一刻起便參與空間可能性的論證。
本課程定位為設計課程的重要思考工具，預期與同學期之Studio產生共振，成為設計思考的支援系統。

This course is a compulsory course for the first semester of the second-year Department of Architecture. It aims to build students’ “linguistic” understanding of architectural structures. For a long time, the study of architectural structures has been trapped in a set of "technical manual-style" enumerations - broken down into independent items according to type of work, materials, and construction sequence. However, in this era of extremely convenient information retrieval, what students need more is not to memorize the "words" of the structure, but to master the "syntax" of the structure - that is, to understand the logical relationship between materials when they meet.
This course refers to the philosophical reflection on taxonomy in Jean Baudrillard's "Le Système des objets" (Le Système des objets), breaking away from the traditional classification based on type of work and construction sequence, and using five "relationship archetypes" as the skeleton: Monolithic, Stacking, Frame + Skin, Axial / Tension, and Interlocking. Through this set of relational syntax, we flip the focus of tectonics from "finding answers" to "finding possibilities."
In terms of method, this course attempts to temporarily separate "Constitution" and "Building/Making": first focus on the logic of interaction between materials, and then go back and add in the specific materiality of materials. It is expected that through such a re-frame, the structure will no longer be a technical packaging after the design is completed, but will participate in the demonstration of spatial possibilities from the first moment of design.
This course is positioned as an important thinking tool in design courses. It is expected to resonate with the Studio of the same semester and become a support system for design thinking.

建築除了設計外，必須被建造起來才算是真正的建築，所以建築師法中建築師的業務包含勘測規
劃、詳細設計及現場監造，所以構造提供了建造房子的方法，如何按圖施工、如何選擇合理的工
法、如何有效控制財務與時間、安全與效率…，這些都是構造的重要課題。而構造包括的內容很
廣，建築材料、構造工法、施工方式、施工圖製作等，而且各項目常有新的研發，日新月異，所
以第一學期的構造課原則上以建築材料與構造系統為主，而第二學期的構造課則以施工方式、施
工圖製作為重點，並以參觀工地實際了解施工現況為主軸。但這學期校園還在施工中的工地已接
近完工：東大附小教學大樓（鋼筋混凝土構造）、第二校區教職員宿舍（鋼筋混凝土構造），所以
參觀機會不多，只能安排結構體工程（鋼筋工程、模板工程、混凝土澆置工程）與裝修工程等，
當然這需要配合工地進度。而我們的重點仍是以建材與構造系統為主。東海建築以建築設計為教
學重點，因此課程將不會有太多的數據與工程，而以建築設計所需構造基本知識為原則，並加強
文献閱讀與隨堂作業；文献閱讀已在課程大綱上標示，若有調整，會在每次上課前一週公佈，同
學需在課前閱讀，上課時討論，作業原則上隔週交。
有關其他可能參觀的機會，像大都會音樂廳、亞洲大學創意設計學院大樓(藝術館)…..將另行通知。
12月有「實構築」研討會及工作營，修本課同學均需參與各項活動，詳細內容另附。
所有上課資料及繳交作業均在教學平台公佈與進行。

In addition to the design, a building must be constructed to be considered a real building. Therefore, the architect's business in the Architects Law includes survey regulations.
Planning, detailed design and on-site construction supervision, so the structure provides methods for building a house, how to construct according to the drawings, and how to choose reasonable construction materials.
Law, how to effectively control finance and time, safety and efficiency... these are all important issues for the organization. The structure includes a lot of content
Widely, building materials, construction methods, construction methods, construction drawing production, etc., and each project often has new research and development, changing with each passing day, so
In principle, the structural course in the first semester focuses on building materials and structural systems, while the structural course in the second semester focuses on construction methods and construction systems.
The focus is on the production of construction drawings, and the main axis is to visit the construction site to actually understand the current construction status. However, the construction site that is still under construction on the campus this semester has been
Nearly completed: the teaching building of Dongda Elementary School (reinforced concrete structure), the second campus staff dormitory (reinforced concrete structure), so
There are not many opportunities to visit, and we can only arrange structural projects (rebar projects, formwork projects, concrete pouring projects) and decoration projects, etc.
Of course, this needs to be coordinated with the progress of the construction site. Our focus is still on building materials and structural systems. Donghai Architecture teaches architectural design
The focus is on learning, so the course will not have too much data and engineering, but will be based on the basic structural knowledge required for architectural design and strengthen
Literature reading and class assignments; literature reading has been marked on the course syllabus. If there are any adjustments, they will be announced one week before each class.
Students need to read before class and discuss during class. In principle, homework is due every other week.
Regarding other possible visiting opportunities, such as the Metropolitan Concert Hall, Asia University School of Creative Design Building (Art Gallery)... will be notified separately.
There will be a "Real Construction" seminar and work camp in December. Students taking this course are required to participate in various activities. Details are attached separately.
All class materials and assignments are published and processed on the teaching platform.
