截至2016年，大氣中的溫室氣體濃度仍持續攀升，且攀升趨勢絲毫未顯放緩跡象，此外，建築相關產業佔全球能源相關溫室氣體排放之大宗，高達百分之三十，不只如此，全球城市人口在1900年僅為13％，但到2050年預計將會增加至70％，意味著在未來20年內全球將增加至少500個新興城市。因此，本研究以城市區場域為研究範圍，致力於探索如何將模塊化永續建築設計策略有效應用於解決現存之城市環境問題，同時提高城市的永續發展潛力。本研究通過文獻回顧和案例分析，制定了以下五大相關設計原則和方向，包括可持續建築設計、可再生能源和廢棄物的利用、改善環境的能力、模塊化設計的適用性和延續性以及創新的建築設計思維。本研究不只著重於提出可供遵循的設計策略，也收集、彙編與城市場域環境相關之議題，完善後續建築設計的操作核心和方向，設計“城市環境改善模組”以有效改善城市環境且考慮其適用性及延續性，並以設計概念為主軸進行組合及搭配，以創造其獨特性和本地性。以“永續建築”為基礎，以“模組化建築理念”為媒介，以“積極有效改善城市環境”為目標，朝“應用於城市環境改善之模組化永續建築設計策略”的方向和目標邁進。通過設計驗證，本研究匯總環境變化的議題和挑戰，為設計思維和原則建立相應之策略，且整合現有的永續建築設計技術，將永續建築設計與模組化建築設計相結合以有效改善城市環境，不只制定了五大相關設計原則，也制定了三大操作步驟以期設計出適用於城市環境改善之建築設計並為後續研究人員提供設計驗證。

Till 2016, the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the air is still rising, the trend is not going slowdown at all, in addition, the construction industry collectively responsible for about 30% of total global energy-related GHG emissions. Furthermore, the global urban population is only 13% in 1900, but it must will rise to 70% by 2050, and will also produce more than 500 new cities in the next two decades. Therefore, this research takes the urban area as the research scope, aims to explore how the modular sustainable building design strategies can be applied to solve the existing urban environmental problems, and to increase the sustainable development potential of the city at the same time. Through the literature review and the case study, this research formulates the following principles and directions to take as the reference, including sustainable building design, the utilization of renewable energy and waste, the ability to improve the environment, the applicability and continuity of modular design, and innovative architectural design thinking. This research proposes the basic design strategy to follow, collects and compile the issues related to the urban environment, establishes the core and the direction of the follow-up design; designs "urban environmental improvement modules" to improve the urban environment and consider its applicability and continuity; takes the design concept as the main axis, combines and matches each modular design to create its uniqueness and local nature. After the design verification, this research concludes that (1) aggregated the issues and challenges of environmental change, to establish the corresponding strategies for the design thinking and principles; (2) integrated the existing design technologies of sustainable building, combined the sustainable building design and the modular building design in order to improve the urban environment effectively; (3) proposed five modular design principles to reference which include sustainable building design, the utilization of renewable energy and waste, the ability to improve the environment, the applicability and continuity of modular design, and the innovative architectural design thinking; (4) proposed three steps for the modular sustainable building design applies to the urban environmental improvement; (5) propose the design strategies to follow for the pre-design process, and provide the design verification for the follow-up researcher.
