This dissertation focuses on finding negative architectural matters in contemporary formalism and proposing an architectural metaphoric theory as an alternative. Firstly, metaphoric theories in linguistics are clarified. Based on the results of analysis about notions of linguistic and architectural metaphor, this study analyzes Kazuyo Sejima’s works. Through analyzing results of Sejima’s design works reveal her metaphoric presentation structure and establishes her potentiality about metaphor in spatial dimension. Sejima’s new senses in architecture spaces are able to advise to contemporary architecture’s formalism that has absence of spatial meaning.
