The present paper is concerned with metaphors used by Günter Behnisch in the building reviews and aims to show how he conceptualizes and verbalizes his particular experiences in the world through metaphor. The research was informed by cognitive linguistic theory of metaphor expounded in Lakoff & Johnson (1980). A case in point in the analysis of architectural texts is the difference between what are referred to as image metaphors and conceptual metaphors in the cognitive linguistics approach. The former are metaphors that map mental images onto other mental images by virtue of their external resemblance. These are contrasted with those metaphors that map more abstract knowledge across two domains and are referred to as conceptual metaphors. The analysis is done on the corpus of 16 texts selected from the building reviews of Günter Behnisch (1997-2008). The dataset comprised 112 instances, which were further sorted according to the domains providing the sources for the metaphors. Architectural metaphors within the corpus draw upon divers experiential domains, among these are organic, textile, language, music and motion. These yield conceptual and image metaphors, which appear evenly distributed in the corpus. Concerning conceptual metaphors, it was observed that most expressions belong to the structural metaphors ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE IS MAKING CLOTH/LINGUISTIC PRACTICE/MUSIC. In general textile, music and language metaphors highlight the structured quality of buildings. The second large set of expressions draws upon image metaphors. The image sources mapped onto architectural targets are of different sorts and can be grouped into organic sources and inorganic sources. Among the former the most recurrent come from the biological domain, and concern animal body parts, followed by personal terms. Inorganic sources comprise geometrical shapes etc. In short, Günter Behnisch makes active use of both conceptual and image metaphors. The discussion also addresses the difficult issue of metaphor classification, and proposes a combination of cognitive and discourse procedures in order to approach the differences between metaphor types. This result corresponds to both German, Korean and Benisch building reviews. This work also shows that all architects under examination share a universal metaphorical layout and a language independence of metaphorization.

본 연구에서는 건축가들이 작품설명을 할 때 특히 은유적 표현을 많이 사용한다는 사실에 주목하고, 이들이 작품을 설명하고 비평하는 특별한 텍스트 유형인 건축평론에서 은유를 어떻게 사용하는지를 귄터 베니쉬 작품들에 근거해 조사 분석하고자 한다. 제2장에서는 은유의 개념을 설명하고, 건축에서 은유가 어떤 역할을 하는지를 기술하며, 베니쉬 건축 특성에 대해서도 언급한다. 제3장에서는 연구방법 및 연구내용 그리고 연구 결과를 제시하고, 제4장에서는 연구결과에 관한 논의와 함께 기 연구된 독일과 한국건축평론에서의 은유표현들(집단價)과 베니쉬가 사용한 은유표현들(개별價)을 비교분석함으로써 은유표현의 보편성과 특수성을 살펴보는 것을 본 연구의 목적으로 한다.
