Creativity and debate!

© Elis Hairi (2019)

Architectural design, the fundamental discipline of specialized higher education, is above all a journey. The way in which this path is structured, the sum of its intermediate sequences, is often more relevant to the fulfillment of the didactic objectives and the acquisition of a series of professional competences than its concrete finality. Two fundamental elements underpin this process: creativity and debate.

The architectural workshop, even in its current virtual form, is the framework for the development and expression of creativity, based on a common language and a basic set of benchmarks and knowledge. Thus, in the process of spatial and volumetric composition and prioritization, only creativity can mediate and negotiate between often divergent determinants.
