Abstract
Architectural design combines engineering science and art, thus stimulating creativity is a challenge in the didactic process. There are various levels of creativity that can be attained through architectural education. From idea to architecture (FITA) is a teaching method based on metaphorical and analogical reasoning that was developed, implemented and tested during architectural design classes in the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology. Gdańsk, Poland. Four components of the FITA method: predesign, design, research and communication, were examined. To evaluate the suitability of the method a p-survey and an e-survey were used. The p-survey was intended to investigate teachers’ and students’ preferences within architectural design studios and to indicate a penchant for designing based on the initial idea among both groups. The next survey was focused on the FITA assessment among students and their preferences for starting points of design, considering the students’ creativity level checked through the test for creative thinking - drawing production (TCT-DP). Findings indicate that the FITA method positively influences students’ creativity at many levels and allows them to see compositional analogies. The TCT-DP results show that this method is mostly beneficial for students with an average level of creativity.
