On the t8th ofAugust in the year 1787 Goethe wrote from Italy to Knebel: "After what I have seen of plants and fishes by Naples, in Sicily, I would, were I 10 years younger, be possessed to travel to India, not to discover anything new but rather to see the discovered in my own way."
In O.M Ungers fine booklet "Morphologies/City Metaphors" there is a introductory, short text. The text delineates the effect of "Designing and Thinking in Images, Metaphors and Analogies" and extrapolates further on " Image and Perception", "Metaphor", "Models", "Analogies", Signs, symbols and allegories". Try reading a few times while you are at work on your material. The text can be read/dowloaded here, or take to the original that should be available in the studio, for more visual comparisons.
