Creativiteit volgens Herman Hertzberger Een eenvoudig recept voor creativiteit komt van architect Herman Hertzberger (1999, 2000, 2002): 1.verbreek het cliché, 2.verzamel veel beelden, 3.plaats ze in een andere context en 4.ga ze dan bewerken.

Verbreek het cliché Robert Delaunay (1913)

Wijzig context (bijv. museum) Marcel Duchamps (1917)

Combineer, laat weg, bewerk Pablo Picasso (1942)

Context sensitivity of our design object Preface by Rector Fokkema Within the range of a technical university the object of design – in terms of (urban) architecture and technique – is the design subject that is amongst all others most sensitive to context. The programme of requirements is not only derived from an economical and technical context, but also from contexts hailing from political, cultural, ecological en spatial considerations; on many levels of scale.

Probable futures There are more and less probable futures

Possible futures Anything probable is per definition possible but not everything possible is also probable. The probable future could be predicted. The improbable possibilities cannot be predicted: you only can explore them by design.

Make probable by causes Make possible by conditions Not every condition is a cause, but every cause is a condition for something to happen

Obvious and Impossible futures

Field of problems, field of aims

Undesired, improbable possibilities Are they relevant as long as nobody wants them?

Unexpected inventions Yes
