What is Metaphors and Analogies in Design about?
This document discusses metaphors and analogies in creative design. It finds that both metaphors and analogies are commonly used by student designers. Metaphors dominate in early problem framing phases, while analogies are more common for concept generation. The document also analyzes design metaphors used in textbooks from Germany, the UK, and Mexico, finding 85% overlap with those from the US. It closes by presenting a design-by-analogy method to teach analogy use to engineering students.
