| Summary: | This essay proposes the use of the rhetorical figure of the metaphor as a method for creation in design. It refers to previous theories in order to make use of this design strategy based on a literary application. It then discusses two case studies in which this procedure has been used to arrange the spatial layout of workspaces and the furniture inside of them. One of these examples is part of the doctoral research currently being undertaken by the author. Este ensayo propone el uso de la figura retórica de la 'metáfora' como método de creación en diseño. Da referencia de los precedentes teóricos para utilizar esta estrategia de diseño basada en una aplicación de la literatura. Y propone dos casos de estudio en los cuales se ha utilizado este procedimiento para dar sentido a la zonificación de los espacios y al mobiliario que los integra. Uno de los ejemplos forma parte de la investigación que el autor esta llevando a cabo en su tesis doctoral. |
