The computer programming courses in architectural education are usually done in a very short period of time, and so students have no chance to create their own designs. This paper describes a course in which metaphors are used as a teaching methodology in parametric design, in order to let students create their own designs and learn the basic elements of parametric programming language in a short period of time with deductive reasoning. In this course, it was intended to teach visual programming language to undergraduates. Advancing under the metaphor theoretical framework, the students obtained experience in achieving form-finding process for their projects in accord with the certain constraints. Using this methodology, the students, who experienced all design stages from 3D modeling to the digital fabrication, additionally were able to develop their ability for versatile thinking and the use of more than one tool in combination, in the early years of their architectural education.  \nKey words  \nmetaphors; Parametric Design; Form-finding; Teaching Model; Architectural Education.  \nIntroduction  \nWhen parametric design is referred to, two perspectives come to mind in architecture, as was noted by Stavric and Marina (2011) . One of these is the architectural constructive parametric design, and the other is the architectural conceptual parametric design. In architectural constructive parametric design, focus is made upon the forms, which are easier to produce in real life, and the work is carried out using pre-drawn 3D objects: BIM programs (such as Revit and ArchiCAD) are used for this purpose. In the architectural conceptual parametric design, the creation of complex forms, which are difficult to produce in reality, is focused on and generally the Rhino and Maya programs, which have script editors, are used (Stavric and Marina, 2011) . The experimental work in this article has been made on architectural conceptual parametric design.  \nKolarevic (2003) states that ‘architects have always looked beyond the boundaries of their discipline, appropriating materials, methods and processes from other industries as  \nneeded’. Parametric operations which are based on a computer programming language, concern the modification of the declared values of constraints and parameters without transformation in the geometry or topology and the relations between them (Woodburry, 2010) . This operation helps architects to generate a set of forms which are mostly complex in nature, curvilinear surfaces and non-Euclidean geometry that are difficult to manage via conventional methods (Burry, 2003; Lee et al., 2014) . This type of complex form production with hand drawing or with an ordinary 3D modeling program is difficult since much effort and time are required. In addition, the lower levels of the model are required for each of the changes to be made in the main model; however, the parametric design program is itself able to make these changes, rather than it being necessary for the designer to do it (Burry, 1999; Jabi, 2013) .  \nSince standardised forms with Euclidean geometry were easy to produce and the machines available were capable of creating many of them in a short period time, these forms emerged in many parts of the world following the industrial revolution. However, this progress brought a contrast approach that includes the use of avant-garde forms in architecture with non-Euclidean geometry. Today, such new types of fabrication tools as 3D printing and robotics have made the non-Euclidean geometries possible to produce, such that the demand for designing avant-garde forms has incre","cbCaiokBHANvkTD0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiokBHANvkTD0","pdf",773013,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# The Use of Metaphors in Architectural Design","[{\"question\":\"Why does the paper use metaphors in teaching parametric design?\",\"answer\":\"Because parametric design programming courses are usually very short, students lack time to create their own designs; metaphors are used to help them learn core parametric programming elements quickly while enabling original form development.\"},{\"question\":\"What programming approach does the course aim to teach?\",\"answer\":\"The course intends to teach a visual programming language to undergraduates, using metaphors as a theoretical framework for instruction.\"},{\"question\":\"What experience do students gain through this teaching methodology?\",\"answer\":\"Students develop form-finding abilities under given constraints and go through all design stages from 3D modeling to digital fabrication, improving flexible thinking and combining multiple tools early in architectural education.\"}]","The Use of Metaphors as a Parametric Design Teaching Model - A Case Study | PDF",1792089590,38]
