Greetings!As the literary metaphor, most works of architecture are made with technical and conceptual metaphors which combine to become an architectural metaphor. I’d like to offer some of my 45 years of research for possible publication, discussion and application. “Architecture: the making of metaphors”.Your invitation would be welcome.www.bariefez-barringten.comBuildings are the products of programming, design and constructionYou can look at the profession of architecture as the process or product. Architecture: the making of metaphors is concerned primarily with the process.Buildings seen by users, public and scholars are incidental and as beauty in the eyes of the beholder. As anything in the landscape can be received as a metaphor and perceived metaphorically. But primarily they are the result of a metaphoric process and as such are metaphors; perceived or not. How is architecture: the making of metaphors changing everything about architecture as we know it from the way it was practiced before?Why architecture: the making of metaphors fills a need. It declares that: •Read: in order to be read buildings must be authored and readers made literate•Art: Involving craft and technique architecture is an art; whether read or not is ever-present in our environment and constitutes our context•Aesthetic: whether read, authored or artful building’s aesthetic must be appreciated by beholder. •Function: Aesthetic, artful, unread or un-authored if it doesn’t shelter to its peculiar demand the work is irrelevant and abandoned.
