Abstract :
In the seventeenth century, Descartes turned attentions from objectivity to subjectivity. Modern architecture is usually tied to the concept of abstraction, and less can be learned from semantics and signage in modern forms than in previous eras. The language that may ultimately create a culture for designing moods based on culture with more claims to a sense of the world is poetic or literary language, the basic unit of which is metaphor. The architect, by adopting strategies that use metaphorical language, begins to design places related to culture. In architecture, the subject is not just a building, but the meaningful event that exists, life itself. The language with which architecture can make the living space meaningful is poetic language. Take advantage of metaphor is the best way to express poetry poetically in architectural design. The research method is analytical, descriptive and qualitative; The main question of the research is: "Can we get rid of modern architectural crises with poetic language and metaphorical element?". In order to answer this question, the sounds of architecture, the voice of the architect and the use of metaphor in architecture were examined. Then, with the help of sorting the types of metaphors in architecture in three forms: tangible, intangible and combined, the examples of contemporary architecture were examined. The result of this research shows that the way out of the modern architectural crisis that has been faced in the last fifty years is to engage hermeneutics and pay attention to poetic language in architecture. Architects use metaphor as a strategy towards creativity; Because in the modern period the focus was on the scientific and mathematical approach, few people paid attention to the poetic concepts of the works; However, by examining some works, a poetic approach was observed and it was shown that architects use metaphors in different ways and use different interpretations to turn them into visual images. In fact, the metaphorical nature of the architectural form extends to the contemporary period, and what is omitted due to abstraction is the tangible expression of metaphor.
