Architecture transcends mere functionality. It's a canvas for human expression, a reflection of cultural values, and a powerful storytelling tool. Embedded within its structures lies a rich tapestry of metaphors, shaping how we experience the built environment. This research explores the enduring influence of metaphor on architecture, tracing its evolution from ancient symbolism to contemporary ambiguity.Our journey begins with towering structures in the cradle of civilization. Ancient Egyptians used pyramids as metaphors for the sun's rays reaching heavens, symbolizing the pharaoh's divine connection. Greek temples, with their harmonious proportions, embodied ideals of beauty, rationality, and civic virtue. These early metaphors were clear and direct, readily understood by all.However, the concept of metaphor in architecture underwent fascinating transformations. Religion played a significant role, with soaring Gothic cathedrals metaphorically reaching for the divine, their stained-glass windows depicting biblical narratives.
