The Phenomenon of Creativity in Design Education

Design education, still one of the most debated topics today, is discussed in terms of its content, methods, relationships with other disciplines, and the back-and-forth between intuition, emotion, thought, function, form, theory, and practice. Fostering creativity, one of the main goals of design education, is attempted through various methods applied in education, and the importance of creativity in design education is constantly questioned. To this end, this book examines the concept of creativity, a faculty that emerges from the relational integrity of sensations, emotions, awareness, and intellectual and mental abilities. The relationship between creativity and design education has been analyzed by examining formal and intellectual methods. As a result of these analyses, different workshops have been structured to foster more creative methods and enable students to think more creatively. The multi-sensory awareness workshops, built on the impact of design education and the senses on creativity, question the dominance of sight in design education. This book, which discusses the impact of sensory polyphony on perception, sensation, awareness, and creativity, will offer new perspectives and experiential environments to all individuals interested in design.
