Abstract

This paper is based on a purely interview-based qualitative study. The research idea was triggered by a diametric theoretical difference in seeing the relationship between rationality and creativity. On one side, some theories suggest rationality inhibits creativity. On the other side, some theories suggest the opposite; rationality encourages creativity. These perspectives were examined through their applications by two Indonesian architects’ designing process in their professional practice. The study was conducted to discover the rationality that works in the design process and the rationality dimensions that drive architects’ creativity. The design process is limited to the conceptual design stage because creativity determines the design work the most. Two Indonesian architects receiving awards for their work creativities were studied using an exploratory case study. Data were collected through in-depth interviews about participants’ attitudes, approaches, and creative operations. The creative processes would be linked to the dimensions of rationality utilized by the architects. Findings related to the rationality dimensions that drive architects’ creativity are discussed with Schipper’s creative-rationality theory.
