Provoking creative design: making it scale
نویسندگان
چکیده
Creativity is indispensable for more innovative interactive system development. This tutorial is relevant to anyone involved in large projects that are exploiting new technologies or developing new interactive systems and media. The tutorial will familiarize participants with both the need for creativity, and the techniques and tools to bring this about. It will interleave short presentations with group work activities that allow participants to use different techniques for stimulating creativity. No prior knowledge of creativity models or techniques is expected. Over the last 6 years, the presenters have designed and run 14 different creativity workshops in projects developing large-scale interactive systems for major clients. Neil Maiden is Professor of Systems Engineering in the Centre for HCI Design at City University, and Sara Jones is the RCUK academic fellow in creative socio-technical system design.

متن کاملHuman Tended Gardens of Evolutionary Design
This paper describes an artificial creative system that simulates basic creative design behavior through the use of pseudo-genetic design supplemented by human recognition and evaluation. While it remains unclear if the system is truly creative itself, it provides the necessary support structure for a design platform that reshapes creative decision making as a question of design growth rather than

Synthesis is a creative and mysterious process in which a chaotic array of concepts, what might be called a mess, is cognitively “engaged” with a problem domain to produce as many interpretations as can validly be derived for effective decision making purposes. The benefits of engaging concepts into a mess are that it allows the problem to be viewed through multiple lenses simultaneously, which...
