This research consists of the procedure for how analogies are developed, initially, there is a complete study, of shell's anatomy, its layers, and chemical composition is studies. Then a case study of Sydney Opera House is analyzed, in sketches form. Finally an analogy is developed, that is, as shell growth is a time consuming and layered, process so is the cultural center. Since here cultural center, near Karachi Sea is been developed, hence shell was a very relevant analogy. This book, represents how, different, approaches to develop on analogies, in the first case study, a cultural center is been designed, which is a fourth year project by the author, where as in the second case study a bus stop is been designed, near sea side. This was a second year project by the author. In this research it was also clear, how the approach of the author developed, from second year to the fourth year, it was clear, as the student intellect grows, the approach also matures accordingly.
