This paper tries to look at the concept of metaphor for the formation of meaning in architectural production. The study follows a theoretical and analytical research method in order to develop discursive formation and an attempt is made to create a conceptual discussion environment through the samples. The qualitative data of the work are derived from the contemporary architectural literature. And the notion of metaphors is approached through selected examples of contemporary architecture and this concept is discussed through the implications of design. What is important here is the question of the relation of the metaphor to the whole architecture and how the metaphor should affect the architectural meaning. Or, in other words, how necessary and effective the metaphor is for the work to be understood by the reader and for the creation of an aesthetic clause. In this context, the question of how metaphor use plays a role in architectural production can be regarded as always questionable.
