Abstract :
The work of architecture is believed to depend on the governing thought in the process ofarchitectural designing. This thought can be analyzed, developed, experienced, and interpreted. Creativity is the onlydomineering force in the idea of designing which is in quest for freeing architecture from the routine methods, andalso finding the novel systems to answer the questions in architecture. Therefore, a special fixed and stable placeis considered for creativity. However, the background and history of research and clash of ideas in recent yearsexplains for the change in reconsidering the general ideas, and interpretations on creativity in the process of designing.Today, the approach that considers the process of designing an outcome of responding to the demand on creativity inarchitecture through logical and analytic methods is no longer credited. Instead, the process of designing is consideredin a creative and intuitive way which is metaphysical rather than argumentative. This change in attitude and the relevantinterpretations have introduced clear evidence; however, there remain many questions involving the identity and qualityof the creative occurrences in the process of designing. Therefore, the intuitive approaches and interpretations aboutcreativity have been so over generalized and complicated that have left a lot of obscurities behind. This article is anattempt to respond to some of these questions by identifying the ways the intuitive creativity occurs and also to presenta descriptive stream in the emergence of creativity which means creating ideas only happen according to intuition.
