Architecture connotes a lot of emotions and connotation. Not necessarily on the elements but it aroused different feelings through the aesthetic of the architecture, the materials that use to build in, the style, and the spatial arena that was build around in the environment.

Adrian Forty talks about how architecture function as a language that suggest communication. Long ago, Aristotle had pointed out that a language of consistent words suggests meaning of their combination into a large and meaningful structure. Later on, many writers argue with theories and opinions how architecture speak and define themselves with space, surface into mass, volume, line.etc. Many of this controversy, there are certain rules how constructions should be. There is a physical aspect with how talk the roof should be to be able to support the wall and columns. More so Durand, suggest that how architecture should have it’s own formal language. Although architecture can function as a language with literally words. Most important is that it presents meanings through the eye, that people can understand the design of a built structure.

Forty stated there have been claims from fashion, music and film that suggest the relationship between architecture and language. He pointed out historians like Victor Hugo felt that buildings could be read as texts and Gothic architecture and form of social record. It is definite that language is not the only metaphor use to address architecture. In the human language, there are static mechanics that is use to describe architecture, words like equilibrium, centripetal and shear. Etc. As Forty points out, “Even if architecture is not a language, it does not lessen the value of language as a metaphor for talking about architecture” (2000, p.84)

Architecture simply have it’s own explanation that does not serve as a metaphor in the sense of form and structure. However, having this metaphors are useful tools that help us to understand architecture serves in multiple meaning, so we could connect those concepts with other disciplines.
