Abstract:
In this 21st century we live in; where knowledge, technology and communication
are the order of the day. Goods and services as well as information are highly
accessible in this period. This offers different choices to people. Hence, creativity
is the key word for competency.
Creativity is an important input in every aspect of our lives; from way we
think or reason to how we market our products and from urbanization policies to
challenging construction designs. There are different perceptions of creativity;
some say it is inborn and hereditary while others see it as a skill that can be
learnt and a process that can be managed. Learning to be creative is like
learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles, and a
supportive environment in which to flourish. Business leaders are increasingly
adopting the principles and practices of art and design to help build creative
strength in their organizations.
The purpose of this research paper is to explore creativity in relation to art
and architecture. It focuses on the nature of creativity, theories about creativity,
and recognized understandings concerning the development and use of
creativity.
