Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between the analogy and the discipline of architecture. It tries to investigate, through the example of architects and architectures, the "internal" and "external" qualities to the architectural writing of the analogical process. The analogy, in fact, on the one hand implies a close relationship with the discipline and its constituent devices, with the story (the architecture analogous to the architecture), on the other hand, by introducing within the design elaboration subjective dynamics, related to memory and imagination, it also suggests external connections to the architectural field, with nature, with art, with the landscape. Through the analogy, it is possible to retrace according to an original perspective the autonomous and heteronomous characters of the architecture.
