METAPHORS, HYRIDISATION AND SOCIAL SPACE

The contribution is the result of the research activity during an international workshop: the workshop promoted by the Raffles Design Institute of Hong Kong and by the University of Palermo organized with the aim of generating projects and new visual codes in the two cities, evoking “new images for new meanings” and reconfiguring spaces and communities. The article describes some results of the workshop starting with the concept of metaphors as element that helps to construct new narratives, starting from what exists through a new narrative and the juxtaposition of apparently distant images, but which, as a result of the metaphor itself, are recomposed in a different image, charged with new meanings semantic.
