In Play in Creative Problem-solving for Planners and Architects,
"play" is defined, explored and demonstrated as a critical catalyst
in creative problem-solving processes. The book defines the current
psychological research into play and creative problem-solving,
explores the necessary integration of the two, and exemplifies for
students and practitioners the use of play in creative endeavors;
and the role that play serves in separating linear from creative
problem-solving approaches. Play is explored regarding its elements
(tools, skills, environment), characteristics (a free activity
without failure) and attitude as it relates to and activates the
creative process with the focus on urban design, planning,
architecture, and landscape architecture. The book re-establishes
the whole mind-body thinking process of play as a means of
object-learning; to provide designers and planners with alternative
ways of design-thinking; and to challenge the over-utilization of
digital technologies in creative processes. Creative
problem-solving requires an appreciation for ambiguity, uncertainty
of outcome, complexity that leads to the discovery of novelty and
innovation. The book incorporates examples and exercises in play
activities related to the design and planning fields, and exercises
related to play-tools and skills for students and professionals. It
also defines terms used in play and creativity psychology; provides
examples and structure for play and creative problem-solving
activities; describes the type and use of appropriate play-tools;
contains an extensive bibliography on play and creative
problem-solving texts; and provides significant illustrations
making it fundamental reading for students and professionals in
urban design and planning fields.
