Abstract
This study aims at analyzing the methodology of metaphorical and analogical design thinking in terms of interiorization of the elements of the exterior (urban and landscape) in contemporary architecture's interior. The concept of interiorization of the external elements was studied as follows:
First, in an approach focused on system, by the mode of metaphorical transference, substantial fluid energy of natural ecology in the exterior is transferred into the interior.
The second is an approach focused on program, and it is a mode of analogy in which an event can be made. It can be from an indeterminate program and structure of plate of the interior analogized by various programs and infrastructure of the exterior.
The third is an approach focused on image. It introduces the elements of exterior prospect into the interior metaphorically and analogically, and appeals directly to aesthetic feeling through emotional expressions.
