Presentations
Mediators of the relationship between physical indoor spaces and individual creativity
Chris McTeague, Katja Thoring
Technical University of Munich, Germany
Workspaces can enhance the creativity of the designers that occupy them. Here, we review experimental studies of creative spaces to identify constructs that mediate (explain) the relationship between physical spaces and creative performance. Through a literature review of 8 journal articles comprising 13 experiments, we identify 14 constructs involving cognitive, affective and physiological components. Knowledge of these mediators can help researchers to formulate hypotheses, select control variables, and develop conceptual models and theories of creative spaces in design.
Characteristics of paralinguistic communication indicating pre-resonance during co-creative design grasped by decision tree analysis
Karen Shichijo, Akane Matsumae
Kyushu University, Japan
The study aims to grasp the dynamic characteristics of paralinguistic communication during co-creation and has developed an analysis methodology by clustering the conversational patterns and determining the criteria more often observed in pre-resonance. The results suggest that pre-resonance is characterized by less silence, a rapid transition in exchanging ideas under one's initiative, and a conversation with equal amounts of utterances between both in a pair. This study reveals implications for better communication that lead to resonance, an essential phenomenon in collaborative design.
Assessment of structuredness of problems in design
Sanjay Singh, Amaresh Chakrabarti
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India
Design problems are wicked in nature. Wicked problems are difficult to understand, formulate and solve. The literature focuses mainly on the characteristics of wicked problems, very little is available to how wicked problems (synonymous to ill-structured) should be formulated to make them well structured. Assessment of wickedness can help designers formulate problems into well-structured. This work proposes a metric for (lack of) structuredness as a measure for the degree to which a design problem is ill-structured. A Delphi-based method as benchmark for validating the metric is also proposed.

Gender is a crucial factor for creativity in design. Although the participation and recognition of successful and prominent women in the field of design seems to be increasing, many more men are still recognised and regarded as creative. This paper analyses the gender differences in design creativity. First, a summary of studies on gender differences in creativity in general is presented. It then discusses three critical aspects of gender differences in design creativity. Finally, some ways in which women's creativity can be encouraged and supported are outlined.
The imperative of assessing negative creativity in design: a multi-dimensional approach
Petra Badke-Schaub1, Katja Thoring2, Harald Schaub3, Roland M. Mueller4
1Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands; 2Technical University of Munich, Germany; 3IABG Ottobrunn, Germany; 4Berlin School of Economics and Law, Germany
The paper emphasizes the need to consider negative aspects of creativity, especially in design, where it can have significant societal impacts. It calls for a more comprehensive view of creativity that includes both positive and negative effects and proposes a research approach to assess the potential negative consequences of creative work.
Factors that determine design similarity
Kazuko Sakamoto1, Yuya Kinzuka2
1Hosei University, Japan; 2Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan
In recent years, the importance of design has been pointed out as a source of competitive advantage. However, creating a great design also increases the risk of copy products being created. In this study, we used an approach based on visual information and conducted an international comparative judgment survey of elements considered to be similar within products.
