Metaphor is the form of analogy which contains semantic. Architect interprets metaphor which he chooses as the beginning of the design process, according to himself. The project develops and concludes with this interpretation. He transfers an image to the building with metaphor. The result reflects this metaphor. Metaphor causes the building to gain symbolism. This study Studio 7 shopping centre project that based on metaphors has been organized for third year students on Selcuk University Architecture Faculty in the academic year 2013-2014, spring semester. It is aimed to evaluate the progress in designing skills of students by using metaphor technique in architectural design. The secondary purpose is to indicate the capability of a design approach based on metaphors to meet the demand for architecture with identity and overcome the increasing monotony in the man-made environment. The relationship between architectural design practice and metaphor concept were evaluated with all positive and negative aspects within the context of students' projects. (C) 2015 The Authors.
