Abstract

Analogy in architecture has been studied by various researchers especially in fields related to creativity and the in conceptual content of signs and symbols within the various architectural contexts.

To achieve its objectives the paper covers theoretical background which is related to existing studies with specific reference to analogy. The second step, covers a number of studies from which a hypothesis to build up a framework that addresses the re search problem with some emphasis on symbols.The paper presents an adopted design model of analogy in the design process and presents a set of conclusions, primly, related to this topic and its impact on design and designers.
