全球各地的建築學院通常以基本設計課程（Basic Design/ Fundamentals of Architecture Design）做為一系列專業訓練課程的起點，本論文旨在研究建築學校基本設計課程的內容與架構，回顧分析陽明交大建築所2021～2023學生後組新生基本設計課程ODTI （Observe、Describe、Transform、Inhabit）四階段課程架構，含括讓學生學習如何觀察真實空間，經過紀錄後時抽離真實環境、進行抽象操作與想像，而後創造真實可體驗與具有機能的空間。本文同時透過的相關歷史背景耙梳，探討建築基本設計課程主旨，以釐清本課程安排目標 與實施過程中的有效因素。本課程亦高度結合「建築：空間、造型與秩序」的要旨，即虛體、實體及兩者合而為一的組織秩序，從而成為建築。

Architecture schools around the world typically start their series of specialized training courses with a foundational design course, often referred to as "Basic Design" or "Fundamentals of Architecture Design." This paper aims to investigate the content and structure of such foundational design courses in architecture schools. It reviews and analyzes the curriculum of the Freshman Basic Design course, ODTI (Observe, Describe, Transform, Inhabit), at the Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Architecture Institute from 2021 to 2023. This four-stage course framework encompasses teaching students how to observe real spaces, temporarily detach from the real environment through documentation, engage in abstract operations and imagination, and finally, create habitable spaces.

The paper also delves into relevant historical backgrounds to explore the core principles of architectural basic design courses, seeking to clarify the objectives of course arrangements and identify effective factors during implementation. The course is closely aligned with the essence of "Architecture: Space, Form, and Order," emphasizing the organizational order of virtual, physical, and the synthesis of both, ultimately culminating in the creation of architecture.
