In the distant past we looked to those places we recognised and experienced in nature for ideas – the shelter of a cave, the shade of a tree, the original refuge of the womb, our own proud vertical stance and point of view, the communal circle we make with our friends in a forest clearing… – and sought to emulate them in our architecture.” MetaphorArchitectureForest Book:Metaphor: an exploration of the metaphorical dimensions and potential of architecture Source: Metaphor: an exploration of the metaphorical dimensions and potential of architecture
