Viewpoints of design can be enhanced through the understanding of architectural history. Architectural history, at the same time, could be broadened via design process. In the campus of NCKU, there is a vacant corner beside the historical main college entrance: CION-LI-ZH-ZH TRIUMPH. Concepts of spectacle and temenos, as design tools, are engaged to reform NCKU historical college entry. This thesis contains four chapters: 1. The Initial Thea: The first chapter is to use the architectural history and urban development as the axis, and the viewpoints of thea and the spectacle will be elaborated etymologically and socially. 2. The Ancient Time Has Borne: The second chapter is to study the significances of thea of classical Greece and Rome, and the archetypes of spectacle that ancient times have developed. At the end of the chapter, the inspiration of parti will initiate with the archetypes of social fields. 3. The Heavenly Earth: The third chapter will discuss the progress of the spectacle cultures from the God-reverence era, the Humanism, down to the Age of Baroque. The discussion will also scrutinise the process of how human beings practise as well as apply the quest of Utopia to the earthly urban area. 4. Completion via Spectacle: The final chapter is the presentation of the ultimate case of design as a whole. Architectural design involves both its essence as well as its tools, and the architectural history is an explanatory system which can express its viewpoint. This paper is to use the collected insights as the vehicle of design via experiencing the knowledge of architectural history. With the interaction between design and architectural history, the innovative value shall be built up to the general architectural history materials.
