His books offer thoughtful reflections on how architecture communicates through metaphor and symbolism, bridging arts and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for readers interested in the intellectual foundations of architectural creativity, these titles illuminate the nuanced connections between form, meaning, and context. Chupin’s writing challenges and inspires those who appreciate architecture as both an art and a cultural practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"analogical-thinking-in-architecture-by-dr-jean-pierre-chupin-9781350343665","title":"Analogical Thinking in Architecture","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book provides an in-depth exploration of the rich and persistent use of analogical thinking in the built environment. Since the turn of the 21st century, \u003cem\u003edesign thinking\u003c\/em\u003e has permeated many fields outside of the design disciplines, used whenever disciplinary boundaries need to be transcended in order to think \"outside the box\". This book argues that these qualities have long been supported by \u003cem\u003eanalogical thinking\u003c\/em\u003e—an agile way of reasoning in which we think the unknown through the familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is organized into four case studies: the first reviews analogical models that have been at the heart of design thinking representations from the 1960s to the present day; the second investigates the staying power of biological analogies; the third explores the paradoxical imaginary of \u003cem\u003eanalogous cities\u003c\/em\u003e as a means of integrating contemporary architecture with heritage contexts; while the fourth unpacks the critical and theoretical potential of linguistic metaphors and visual comparisons in architectural discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eComparing 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 \u003cem\u003eanalogical world of the project\u003c\/em\u003e is revealed as a wide-open field of creative and cognitive interactions. Showing how analogy has the power to reconcile design and theory, it is a must-read for both designers and theorists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47462593462508,"sku":"9781350343665","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350343665-analogical-thinking-in-architecture.jpg?v=1775017475"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-jean-pierre-chupin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
