1992年著作權修正前，係將建築設計圖、建築模型、建築物，及其他建築著作等智慧成果，分別歸屬美術及科技或工程設計圖形著作下，是其立法相對較晚。而建築著作創作過程之參與及程序，有其繁複與具專業性，致衍生若干問題。蓋創作參與者可能有執業建築師、聘僱之建築師及建築設計師等，造成建築著作之人格權與財產權之歸屬不明。依建築法規定建築師應負擔建物安全風險，固雖主張著作權應歸屬建築師所有，惟不合著作權法之立法精神。建築著作體系龐大，諸如草圖、規劃圖、設計圖、結構、水電、施工說明、透視、建築模型、建築物、室內設計等圖說，究竟保護範圍為何，具有相當研究價值。倘將建築師之觀點應全部納入，則將影響他人依建築規範設計，而導致侵權之衝突。職是，本文就有關建築著作之爭議，研究比較國內外法律之規定及實務之見解，俾於我國之建築著作有周全與細緻之立法體制。

The architectural design, architectural models, buildings and other construction works with intellectual knowledge are attributed to art and technology or engineering graphics copyright, their legislation is relatively late, before amending Copyright Act in 1992. The creative process and procedures involved of architecture works are professional and complex, then derivative much disputes. The moral rights and property right of architectural works maybe involve practicing designers, hiring engineers or registration architects because they are creative participants in team work.

However, it is difficult for what objects of protection exactly and with considerable research value.
