This project is a fine example of the use of Metaphor (or perhaps Allegory, or who knows which other of the many figures of speech in linguistics) in the field of design.

​I remember that in literature, the term "figure of speech" referred to any artifice in a discourse employed to create a special effect. It occurs when in a sentence a normal term is replaced by another whose essence or function overshadows that of the term original, thus creating a highly-expressive image among the population (examples: "you're such a dunce", "swan song", "sleeping like a log", "the party is in upheaval"...).
