The creative process in architecture is divided into three stages: preparation, ideation, and evaluation. • The facilitating and inhibiting factors for each stage are identified.

Once upon a time, a person took the meaning of people's lives as the basis of design and decided to resist nature with the help of materials, machines and mechanisms. Perhaps now someone has a desire to get rid of the constructor and transfer the right to make decisions in this matter to artificial intelligence. Perhaps a machine integrated with the Internet will listen to you and, of course, give you a product, but will you survive in that country, city and house, with those products that it does not use itself, which means it does not care what is, in the end, will be resalt of using them for you. The problem of design quality is hidden not only in technology or measuring of some things but in human goals.

You can have the acceptability of your works based on its easthetics, materials to be used, convience and safety that conforms with its usability.

I think the discussion of this issue should be as follows.

The creativity process depends on special criteria that are not subject to arithmetic operations... It is a completely relative issue related to other variable and unstable factors... Therefore, the creativity process cannot be subject to measurement or to the computational scale.. If there are attempts, they are inaccurate attempts.

I personally do not think that this measure is very different from that which is done in the context of design theories. e.g.: "Said-Metwaly, S., Van den Noortgate, W., & Kyndt, E. (2017). Approaches to measuring creativity: A systematic literature review. Creativity. Theories–Research-Applications, 4(2), 238-275."

What is creativity in architectural design?

Architectural design process. Creativity is the cornerstone of architecture (Danaci, 2015). It is one of the captivating and stimulating aspects of the human mind and is defined as the ability to change old ideas to produce unique inventions (Heap, 1989).

Why is creativity important in architecture?

As an art, it provides an outlet for creative expression that leads society to look at their living space and the overall environment in different ways. At the same time, architecture responds to society's functional needs while making use of modern technology in building design.

What is the relationship between creativity and architecture?

📷

It is argued that creativity and uniqueness lie in the way between the two concepts (Weston, 2011). In architecture, this way of thinking has created new opportunities to re-read the traditional architectural styles and opened possibilities to re-evaluate their values and concepts (Durmus & Gur, 2011).

What is critical thinking in architecture?

Critical thinking allows architects to understand who we building for and why we're building in the first place. It allows us to advance our agenda, a political and ideological one. As designers, we're constantly required to learn and understand more and more.

Thank you, everyone. I understand that it will be very difficult to validly judge abstract things that stick to a person's personality, especially creativity. However, I am interested in getting the formula because my research is related to the use of computer algorithms in architectural design.

I got an article that is quite relevant to my question above. Here's the link:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/272403480_Creativity_and_parametric_design_Comparing_designer%27s_cognitive_approaches_with_assessed_levels_of_creativity

The article describes experimental research using two methods. First, design cognition with Protocol Analysis Techniques. Second, assessing creativity using the Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT).

I still need to learn those 2 methods. And of course I'm still interested in hearing other opinions. Thank you :)

I think it is useful

Thank you for the information, Zakria Hashim .
