Abstract

Creativity, the core value in every field of design, cannot be taught in a traditional sense; anything taught to be learnt by the students would be just practical techniques, while true creativity must be inspired instead of instructed. This study adopts the theory foundation of analytical psychology derived by Carl G. Jung to review the teaching method in studio-based design education, and uses case studies to further illustrates how creativity is induced in studio environment.
