STORYTELLING- PILLAR OF METAPHORIC ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

This study examines the role of storytelling in metaphoric architecture, exploring how narrative devices and metaphors enhance architectural design, education, and the built environment. Through a review of the literature, case studies, and an examination of student projects, the study explores how storytelling methods like storyboarding and metaphors might be incorporated into architectural creativity and problem-solving. The practical use of metaphoric architecture is demonstrated through case studies of significant structures. According to the research, using metaphoric thinking and narrative in architectural education and practice results in more creative, engaging, and context-sensitive designs, this enhances communication within the profession. This study advances our knowledge of how narrative-driven design methodologies can produce more powerful and evocative architectural solutions.
