本論文是以接頭設計的方式對建築構造之接頭進行詮釋。接頭設計是處理構件與構件的界面相遇問題。接頭的構造技術使建築能夠佇立，而接頭的形式表達則參與塑造空間氛圍，同時展現建築的精神尺度。透過接頭設計，可回歸建築的最根本：對構造之技術及藝術的表現。

本研究以柱樑構架形式為研究範圍，研究方法包含以下五個步驟：
1.接頭劇情：透過柱樑構造型態分析，得知一組欲設計的具體接頭劇情。
2.接頭策略：擬訂接頭的設計策略，建立接頭原型。
3.初步設計：以接頭原型為基礎，賦予應變機制進行初步設計，得到接頭胚型。
4.樣式設計：根據接頭胚型，對接頭的形式表達進行設計。
5.空間演示：設計空間劇情，將接頭樣式代入空間進行空間情境演示。

接頭如同字彙，接頭之運用如同空間之寫作，使空間展現意涵及氣蘊。本論文透過一組空間設計，分別演示不同的接頭形態，呈現空間的情境效果。

The joints act as the science and art of construction in architectural design. Through joint design, the
oppositional relationship between elements can be compromised. The joints is not only be used as a tool to demonstrate the resolution when one element meets another, but also is one of the main elements for expression in space. It demonstrates both the ornament and functional value in architecture. Through joint design, it traces back to the foundation of architecture, which revealed the technique and beauty of architecture.The thesis takes reference from the joint design between column and beam's structural systems, to interpret aesthetic and technique value of joints in tectonics of architecture.

The research follows five steps:
1. Joint morphology: Study the constructional morphology of joint elements.
2. Joint program: Through strategize the program of joint design, construct the prototype of joints.
3. Initial design: The conceptual mold design can be originated and composed from the traditional joint structure, through adjustment mechanism on each joint design.
4. Joint Expression: Expression of each conceptual mold design in place, which pursuant to tectonics in architecture.
5. Proposal in space: The narration of each joint design in place can enhance the strong identity of the space as a whole, strengthen and lengthen each dimension in time and universe.

As if the presence of each joint are vocabulary, to interweave in between the sea of paper space. The research methodology has shown different types of design for joints. Each joint can fit into the program of space, express different types of joints, and formulate each scenario and enlighten the spatial value within.
