    The objective of the "Architectural Design" course for the first semester of the 112th and 113th academic years is to align the teaching of architectural design with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course aims to enhance students' conceptual and practical skills to co-create a sustainable, resilient Shenkeng community, respond to its challenges and requirements, and prioritize inclusivity and regard for diverse values. Throughout the process, students will learn how to integrate the requirements of the SDGs, including sustainable urban and community development and climate action. The ultimate goal is to produce socially impactful design works that contribute to community development and improvement while advancing the goals of the SDGs.


1. Understanding Shenkeng Culture and Community Characteristics:
The course will give an overview of the Shenkeng community's cultural setting, history, and distinguishing features. Students will learn about the community's ideals, traditional architecture, cultural legacy, and the challenges and requirements it faces.
2. SDGs and Sustainable Development:
Students will understand the fundamental principles and objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a particular emphasis on those that pertain to architectural design, including reducing inequalities, promoting sustainable cities and communities, and mitigating climate change. Throughout the design process, these principles will function as a critical reference framework.
3. Community Engagement and Co-Creation:
Students will learn how to interact and collaborate with the Shenkeng community. Students will learn about the residents' needs, expectations, and values through activities like exhibitions, which they will then include into their design process.
4. Architectural Design Methods and Tools:
The course will teach students the essential methods and techniques of architectural design, including spatial planning, structural concepts, material selection, and sustainable building technologies.
5. Principles of Sustainable Design:
In Shenkeng, students will acquire the ability to integrate sustainable design principles into architectural initiatives. This includes choosing and reusing building materials, incorporating renewable energy, managing water resources, conserving energy, and protecting the environment. In addition to considering the social and environmental effects of architectural design, students will be encouraged to suggest creative solutions.

The "Imperial Tea Garden" Design Concept
Drawing inspiration from Shenkeng's early tea production, this project centers around tea. The roof is shaped like a tea leaf, while the façade features tea-scented composite wood. The distinctive structure of tea leaves inspired the design of a rainwater collection system that embodied sustainability and energy efficiency concepts.
