結構設計教學

Teaching Structural Design

Although the quality of architectural design strongly relies on its thorough integration with structural systems, design of architecture and design of structures are typically taught separately, and often at different university departments. This paper reports on a course entitled ”Structure and Form Design”, in which the integration of subjects was taught as a dialogue between architecture and engineering viewpoint. Several observations on this approach to teaching are reported and discussed, based on field observation data collected throughout the course over one semester. These include: differences between architectural and engineering approaches to structural design, structural design teaching in a studio setting, changed roles of teachers and students in this educational approach, the use of presentation materials in tutorials and new points of departure for developing future teaching in this field. 雖然一項建築設計的水準與其是否能和結構系統徹底整合息息相關，但建築設計和結構設計的教學往往採分開進行的方式，而且在大學體系內常分屬兩個不同的系所。本文報告的主題是一堂名為《結構與造型整合設計》的課程，課程內容乃是以建築及工程兩種視角相互對話的方式，教導學生如何整合這兩個領域。以一學期實務教學所得觀察為基礎，提出並探討針對此教學模式的幾點觀察，包括：建築和工程在結構設計上的不同取徑、設計課情境下的結構設計教學、此教育模式中師生角色的改變、質習課堂上簡報的應用及未來持續發展此教學領域的新著力點。
