Definiton of Terms:
• LINGUISTIC ANALOGY

-ANALOGY: a similarity between like features

of two things
-LINGUISTIC: words or phrases are created or

re-formed according to existing
patterns in the language.
LINGUISTIC ARCHITECTURE
• defines the basic objects of the model and their relations.
• defines relations between blocks of features instead of between
individual features.
• defines a robust basic structure and provides the means of building
the additional apparatus when required.
• intacles schemata. “the general form which is accepted”
- level the standard operates
- elements and components of schemata
3 MODELS
1. GRAMATICAL MODEL
-people within a given culture to readily understand and interpret
what the building is saying.
-Every house worth considering as a work of art must have a
grammar of its own
3 MODELS
2. SEMIOTIC MODEL
- Semiology is the science of
signs.
- A semiotic interpretation
of architecture holds that a
building is a sign that conveys
information about what it is and
what it does.
3 MODELS
3. EXPRESSIONIST MODEL
- Expresses the architect’s
attitude towards the project.
SINKING IN
-THE LINGUISTIC ANALOGY The idea that architecture is like a
language, like the other models
- But it acquired a new import with the emergence of Post-Modern

architecture.
- And for now it is like a developing history of how it developed

SINKING IN
-So now Post-Modernists say that architecture should communicate
more to the users of buildings.
- Since human language is the most familiar form of human

communication, architects look to language to try to learn how to
create an architecture that people understand and appreciate.
- analogy depends very much on their understanding of how

human language works
SINKING IN
more literal interpretations of the idea that architecture should:
"say something"
Dancing House by Frank Gehry
It is named this way
because of the towers reminding
of the famous dancers Ginger
Rogers and Fred Astair. The male
part of the dancing couple is
represented by a rock tower and
the woman is symbolized by
a tower made of glass. The top of
the male tower is covered with
imaginary hair
TWA Flight Center Airport (Kennedy
Terminal) by Eero Saarinen
The TWA Flight Center, also known

as the Trans World Flight Center
Milwaukee Art History Museum (Quadracci
Pavilion)
The Quadracci Pavilion is the
iconic sculptural addition to the
Milwaukee Art Museum designed
by Santiago Calatrava. The Spanish
architect was inspired by the
“dramatic, original building by
Eero Saarinen . . . the topography
of the city,”
Big Basket Building (Steve Coon)
It was designed by NBBJ and
Korda Nemeth Engineering to
resemble the company’s biggest
seller, the Longaberger Medium
Market Basket.
CONCLUSION/REACTION ABOUT THE ANALOGY AND
HOW IT CONTRIBUTE TO THE ARCHITECTURAL
DESIGN CONEPTS
-Based on our understanding

Linguistic Analogy is a style of
architecture which involves
communication or delivers a
certain message to the viewer
based from the design of a building
DESIGN CONEPTS
- It gave a big help for architects in designing their building since
linguistic Analogy, based on our evaluation gets inspiration from our
surroundings, a great example is the "Big Basket Building" in which show
cases a big basket design of a building in which this building is a
manufacturer of maple baskets in United States, even though this
building will not put a signage saying "we manufacture baskets" but
because it has a basket design it will have an impact to the viewer and
could be easily understand that this building involves in basket
production and for me that is how Linguistic Analogy works conveying
message thru physical design.
DESIGN CONEPTS
Language has one great advantage considering the fact that we
design to fulfill people's needs and not all of them are appreciative and
could easily understand design or art with the use of symbolism which was
inspired from our common surrounding these could enable people to
understand what this building and what is the use of this design is all about.
Even though it is not spoken, viewers could still interpret them.
