What is CREATIVITY? Page 6

Creativity is an original cognitive ability and problem solving process which

enables individuals to use their intelligence in a way that is unique and
directed toward coming up
with a product.

Torrance (1974) defined creativity as “a process of becoming sensitive to

problems, deficiencies, gaps in knowledge, missing elements, disharmonies,
and so on; identifying the difficulty; searching for solutions, making guesses,
or formulating hypotheses about the deficiencies: testing and retesting these
hypotheses and possibly modifying and retesting them; and finally
communicating the results.” Creativity is often considered as the ability to
generate ideas that are both innovative and functional

When we describe an architectural work as a work of art, this also includes the
word creativity (Nervi & Ricken, 1990).

Architectural design is the core major

subject of architectural education, it is
