Descrição: The article tackles manifestations of metaphor seen as one of the most important instruments for creating significance and individuality in architecture; lays out the concept of metaphor in postmodern architecture which has elaborated and solidified it; and examines socio-cultural conditions of its origins. As the relation between metaphor and modernism is discussed, the intrinsic differences are identified highlighting the most pronounced stylistic features. It is implied that metaphor being transplanted to modern architecture remains an important tool for its communicative qualities. The analysis of manifestations of metaphorical aspect is based on architectural examples from Lithuania.
