Analogical Thinking in Architecture. Connecting Design and Theory in the Built Environment (New York: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2023), a new book by Jean-Pierre Chupin
This book provides an in-depth exploration of the rich and persistent use of analogical thinking in the built environment. Comparing views on the role of analogies and metaphors by prominent voices in architecture and related disciplines from the 17th century to the present, the book shows how the “analogical world of the project” is revealed as a wide-open field of creative and cognitive interactions.
