The relationship between man and architecture is usually assessed using behavioralscience. However, this research intended to study architecture as a cognitive componentusing 4E cognition. This is different from the effect of environment on cognition whichis often theorized as externalism within frameworks such as environmental psychology. This approach introduces architecture as an essential part of the MIND and cognition. The main research question was: how does architecture act as the causative componentof cognition? The main purpose of this study was to provide a new understanding of thenature of architecture and consequently, a new discourse to be established with architecture, particularly in the case of interactive and adaptive architectures which practically act as anextension of the body (prosthesis). At the strategic level, the research method was logicalargumentation which, at the level of measures, based the analysis of architecture, as theextensive MIND, on Merleau-Ponty’ s phenomenology of embodiment, as the external logicof the argument. This study answered the research question by proving the essential roleof metaphor in embodied cognition and consciousness and then, the role of architecturein generating primary and mixed metaphors. Therefore, here, metaphor is not considereda literary device but the foundation of abstract concepts and is strongly dependent on thecharacteristics of the body of the agent and the function of the body within the environment. The results of this study showed that architecture, as a body, acts as part of the extendedMIND or as an Exogram and architecture, as space, is the creator, weight-giver, and changerof primary metaphors by means of our sensory-motor behaviors and thus acts as an extensiveand integrated MIND.
