Pedagogical Strategies for Enhancing Creativity in Architectural Design Education at SamDAQU
Keywords:
divergent thinking, convergent thinking, design learning, design pedagogy.
Abstract
The paper introduces a pedagogical strategy composed of two main phases which allows free exploration and guided exploration in a design studio course. It discusses how the strategy employed allows for exercising divergent and convergent thinking processes and create opportunities shifting between them. The exercise used as a part of this pedagogical strategy also has potential to include different conceptions of creativity that are associated with time, domain and culture.
