Design schools as social and cultural systems and cultural systems of creativity and innovation
Abstract
Solving complex problems, flexibility and creating ideas are identified as professional skills for 2025. Creativity is above all a cultural and a social event. For Csikszentmihalyi (2004), creativity arises from the interaction of three components: culture, the individual and the experts who recognize this creativity. Using the systemic approach to creativity proposed by Csikszentmihalyi as a conceptual framework, we study Design based on data from the creative process of design students. We reflect on school as the possibility of a living and creative system, made up of diverse people and communities involved in solving complex problems.
