Since the turn of the 21st century, design thinking has permeated many fields outside of the design disciplines.  It is expected to succeed 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 analogical thinkingan agile way of reasoning in which think the unknown through the familiar.   The 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 analogous cities as a means of integrating contemporary architecture with heritage contexts; while the fourth unpacks the critical and theoretical potential of linguistic metaphors and vis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnalogical Thinking in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e 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. * Albena Yaneva, University of Manchester, UK *\u003cbr\u003eOne of the foremost specialists of analogy, this fundamental dimension of architectural thinking, gives us an expanded English version of his seminal contribution to the study of a topic of interest both to theorists and practitioners. Indeed, analogy is key to the understanding of architectural creativity. * Antoine Picon, Harvard Graduate School of Design, USA *\u003cbr\u003eIn four chapters, Jean-Pierre Chupin takes us on an intellectual and sensory journey, reviewing key moments in Western architectural theory and history and illuminating modes of thought that remain little explored in the discipline. Chupin argues persuasively that analogical thinking, in all its intellectual and poetic manifestations, needs to be further explored given the powerful capabilities it has always brought to the field. Building on the disciplinary and transdisciplinary strengths of architecture itself and across disciplines, Chupin foregrounds the specific modes of knowledge production in creative fields and offers this book as a first milestone on the road to \"opening up a field of research that favors the creation of an architectural theory of projects understood as analog worlds.” \u003ci\u003eAnalogical Thinking in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e is a must-read for scholars and practitioners alike. * Dieter Dietz, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Analogical Plates List of Figures Acknowledgements  \u003cb\u003eIntroduction: Analogy Beyond Resemblance\u003c\/b\u003e A Spectrum of Definitions A Canonical Example A Paucity of Theories for a Plethora of Facts Design Process, Repertories, Cities and Theories  \u003cb\u003e1 Reflecting on Design Thinking\u003c\/b\u003e The Design Process as an Object of Research Cybernetic and Methodological Analogues Analogy as Creative Technique Toward a Cognitive Approach to Design The Rise of Design Thinking  \u003cb\u003e2 The Cyclical Case of Biological Analogies\u003c\/b\u003e The Intertwined Fates of Architecture and Biology Peter Collins and the Biological Analogy Philip Steadman and the Evolutionary Design of Artefacts  George Hersey and the Biological Roots of Architecture Analogical Reasoning and the Burden of Proof Life Cycles of Biological Analogies  \u003cb\u003e3 In the Labyrinth of Analogous Cities\u003c\/b\u003e The Città Analoga as a Visual Enigma The Critical Misfortune of a Hypothesis  Climbing the Analogical Mountain Back to Square One with Aldo Rossi  \u003cb\u003e4 From Linguistic Metaphors to Critical Analogies  \u003c\/b\u003e Classical Regimes of Resemblance Post-modern Metaphors of the Column Critiques of Linguistic Analogy Colin Rowe’s Method of Analogical Pairing  \u003cb\u003eConclusion: Connecting Design and Theory in the Built Environment \u003c\/b\u003e The Analogical World of the Project Analogy as Inclusive Device Snakes and Ladders Digital Analogues and Artificial Imagination Cognitive Leaps are the Order of Things  Bibliography Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866599928151,"sku":"9781350343627","price":80.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350343627.jpg?v=1722279401","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/analogical-thinking-in-architecture-9781350343627","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
