Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Maire O'Neill; David Fortin (co-chair)Fullerton, Tyler Barlow2013-06-252013-06-252009https://scholarworks.montana.edu/handle/1/1297The creative process is a key element to generating great architecture, art and science. In order to best utilize this process one must understand different types of creativity, environments that inspire creativity, different processes and techniques and how the conscious and subconscious handle creative thought and creative production. To architecturally explore creative process and production I will design a structure on campus with the purpose of assisting creativity and creative production in the ways that I have come to understand them. Understanding the creative process as it applies to and/or derives from psychology, philosophy, art and/or design is essential to guide and increase creativity. Communicating what is found is equally as important as finding it. A structure with the primary purpose of communicating and allowing creative thought, an architectural muse to inspire creative production, is intended.enMontana State University--BozemanArchitecture--Designs and plansCreative abilityThesisCopyright 2009 by Tyler Barlow Fullerton
