Analogical Thinking in Architecture is careful and timely study of analogy as a powerful tool for connecting design and theory in the built environment. Covering large grounds of theory and practice, Jean-Pierre Chupin makes a compelling argument about the potential of analogical thinking to renew the epistemological horizons of architectural theory and to contribute to a better understanding of contemporary design practice. Eloquently written and filled with insightful examples, it is a must-read for every architecture student, design educator and practitioner.
