Analogy in the architectural design process in the academic mediumAnalytical study of students’ projects

Imad. M. ALBakri Assistant Professor

AbstractThe current research tackles the study of analogy depended on in designing products ofstudents of academic architectural study as it is one of the important designing strategies inthe process of architectural designing because it is closely related with the stage of synthesisand the derivations of architectural concepts within the designing process. The researchdiscusses the importance of this concept in order to explore the particular problem representedby the unclarity of analogy role in the designing products of students of academicarchitectural study over their different grades. Therefore the problem of the research wascrystallized and its objective and methodology were identified by studying analogy by twoaxes, included the analogy and the designer, the analogy and designing process, reaching thedetermination the theoretical framework, that involved four main items, which are; the item ofanalogy cause, analogy sources, the paradigm of dealing with the analogy source and thenature of the designing element relevant to analogy, firstly. And then applying the theoreticalframework on selected projects of students of academic architectural study in the second,third and fourth grades in Mosul University, secondly, in order to explore the change ofanalogy application paradigms adopted by the students in those grades, thirdly. The resultsshowed that the differences in students’ trends throughout different academic grades led to theemergence of similar differences in the nature of practicing analogy in those grades. Keywords: Analogy, Architectural design process, academic medium.
