This monograph is in response to a request to explain the application of the metaphoric theorem and metaphors in teaching architecture in Saudi Ara
It is hoped that a compendium of educational views will have a positive affect on the planning, revision and guidance of architectural curriculums and teaching approaches. Often planners debate about issues at one level which are best dealt with at another so this work turns to Jean Piaget, John Locke, Aristotle, Plato, Jean-Jocques Rousseau, Sybil Maholy-Nage, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, and John Dewey. It is their views of idealism, phenomenology, realism, pragmatism, existentialism, reconstructionism, behaviorism, perennialism and essentialism that have given perspective to psychology, cultural tradition, self-realization, mimesis, functionalism, the bauhous and Ecole de Beaux-arts, behavioral engineering, linguistic analysis, traditionalism modernism, liberalism, and radicalism
