Each of these Analysing Architecture Notebooks is devoted to a
particular theme in understanding the rich and varied workings of
architecture. They can be thought of as addenda to the foundation
volume Analysing Architecture, which first appeared in 1997 and has
subsequently been enlarged in three further editions. Examining
these extra themes as a series of Notebooks, rather than as
additional chapters in future editions, allows greater space for
more detailed exploration of a wider variety of examples, whilst
avoiding the risk of the original book becoming unwieldy. Metaphor
is the most powerful component of the poetry of architecture. It
has been a significant factor in architecture since the earliest
periods of human history, when people were finding ways to give
order and meaning to the world in which we live. It is arguable
that architecture began with the realisation of metaphor in
physical form, and that subsequent movements - from Greek to
Gothic, Renaissance to Modern, Victorian to Vernacular... - have
all been driven by the emergence or rediscovery of different
metaphors by which architecture might be generated.
