This research explores the process of reformulating multiple data sets into metaphorical
representations. The representations must coherently intertwine into a multi-level
metaphor that constrains their forms. A working installation has been created, using the
natural environment as a metaphor for the built environment. Numerical measurements
of weather conditions inside of Texas A&MÂs Langford architectural building are
translated into visual metaphors that map to the weather conditions of a landscape. The
state of the building is visually described in real time, where rainfall, wind strength,
grass color, and lightning represent humidity, airflow through the ventilation system,
temperature, and electricity consumption.
