This paper explores the role and function of metaphor in the genre of the building review within architecture discourse, and suggests ways in which research into its textual and communicative function might be useful to those involved in creating ESP materials for students of architecture whose first language is not English. The main claim here sustained is that, since both genre and metaphor are two key cognitive and sociolinguistic mechanisms building up the content and formal schemas involved in discourse interactions, the incorporation of both in a co-ordinated fashion in the ESP classroom may maximise their heuristic potential in teaching future architects when, where and how to use the metaphors that make up part of their future jargon and help shape the new culture they are about to enter. This would facilitate the language-mediated, disciplinary enculturation process that ultimately renders ESP teaching truly meaningful.
