Reviews

"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. * Albena Yaneva, University of Manchester, UK * One 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 * In 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.” Analogical Thinking in Architecture is a must-read for scholars and practitioners alike. * Dieter Dietz, EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland *"
