Supporting Creativity in Engineering Design: A Position Paper - Principia Designae: Pre-Design, Design, and Post-Design - page 22

Heymann ( 2005 ) cited Hubka 1976: “Design is a demanding creative task, which
should not be seen as art, but as scientific work.” and Franke 1999: “Design is not a
science.”
Within a journal of a community of university professors Max Weber (sociolo-
gist from 1864 to 1920) was cited that “only based on hard work the intuition is
prepared” (Forschung und Lehre 2013 ).
Coming back to creativity:
We will be able to generate/create successful solutions/products, if we start and
end our processes with social motives/society and follow systematic ways of
dealing with our tasks.
Up to now we have not understood all the mechanisms of thinking, but we are
using and supporting our thinking capabilities. Up to now we have not understood
all the mechanisms of creativity, but we are using and supporting or creative
capabilities!
