Abstract :

Undoubtedly one of the most important elements of designing and constructing  permanent structures, salient  and unique buildings is based on creativity. Creative thinking is one of the most complex and highest manifestations of human thought that leads to the uniqe architecture buldings. Since classical architecture view includes three areas named as strength, utility and aesthetics (structure, function, form); creativity can appears in all of these three layers. For example, sometimes the architectural structure occurs as the most innovative work, such as Calatrava’s works; and sometimes form may appear as the first and most important factor, such as Gehry and Le Corbusier’s works. Also creative thinking can play a considerable role in case of function, for example sophasticated airports plans can end to complex problems optimized resolving. These three factors can be also seen in a single project. Although a  great deal of psychological studies examine and  emphasis on gender differences in general and particulary  in creativity,  this paper was written about different aspects of creativity in architecture.Finally  with regard to the psychological findings, creativity in women’s designs  was discussed and creative examples of projects which presented by women -with a focus on Zaha Hadid – were introduced.
