建築設計是設計者利用特有的寫作詞彙語句對空間的寫作方式。書法是一種中國特有的藝術呈現方式。書寫者用來抒發意念，已超越原字之形體，而表達字「形」之意。書法中的草書，利用精要的筆劃線條，重新創作出字之形意。本設計主要希望能夠根據草書中對字形意的書寫方式的探討，發展出書寫建築空間之形體意念的設計方法。

共分成論述及創作兩部份進行：

第一部分為論述，主要闡明草書對字形之關鍵特色的創造，適於做為進行空間寫作之設計詞彙。

第二部份為為空間寫意創作，透過連串的分析及演練懷素禪師的作品，發展出書寫平面空間之最小單位元素。最後進行空間寫作之創作演練，以渡假村為題目，台南的海岸為基地，書寫空間極簡之意念。

Architectural design is a kind of writing by spatial vocabularies. Calligraphy, as an art of writing, is about the form rather than the semantic of words. The cursive script in Chinese calligraphy can be viewed as the expression of the formal essence of the characters employed in writing. The thesis attempts to explore the idea of capturing the formal essence of architectural spaces in the light of that similar to the cursive script of characters.

The study consists of two parts, the discourse and the design:

The discourse argues that the cursive script of Chinese calligraphy can be adopted as a design methodology by its power of capturing key features to characterize a given form, be it a character or an architecture. The design part begins with a series of analyses and exercises based on the great Zen master Huai-su’s work to develop technical skills of expressing and re-expressing the essential from the superficial. The study ends with a design project of resort village by the shoreline of Tainan city, which demonstrates the vision of creating the maximal from the minimal.
