Abstract

In recent research on the creative design thinking, it is pointed out that creative design idea often comes from unexpected thinking process. Finke et al. [1] asserted that there is, at first, pre-inventive structure of thinking while designer generates a visual image, and after he/she get an image as the result of the pre-inventive structure he/she explore and interpret them into creative idea. Lawson [2] presented five-stepped model of creative thinking process. In this model, they pointed out that after making effort to analyze design problem, designer often came to relaxed time and seemed to forget the problem, and after that unexpectedly illuminated a good solution. This phase is called ‘incubation’. The authors of this paper focused on this stage of creative design thinking. They consider that both of the pre-inventive structure and the incubation stage should include implicit intentions of designer. They try to understand that what are the implicit intentions, and also try to make clear the difference of those in case of generating the ‘pre-inventive structure’ and in case of the ‘interpretation’ from the viewpoint of semantic generation.

On the Implicit Intention in the Incubation and Pre-Inventive Structure of Creative Design Thinking.

In recent research on the creative design thinking, it is pointed out that creative design idea often comes from unexpected thinking process. Finke et al. [1] asserted that there is, at first, pre-inventive structure of thinking while designer generates a visual image, and after he/she get an image as the result of the pre-inventive structure he/she explore and interpret them into creative idea. Lawson [2] presented five-stepped model of creative thinking process. In this model, they pointed out that after making effort to analyze design problem, designer often came to relaxed time and seemed to forget the problem, and after that unexpectedly illuminated a good solution. This phase is called ‘incubation’. The authors of this paper focused on this stage of creative design thinking. They consider that both of the pre-inventive structure and the incubation stage should include implicit intentions of designer. They try to understand that what are the implicit intentions, and also try to make clear the difference of those in case of generating the ‘pre-inventive structure’ and in case of the ‘interpretation’ from the viewpoint of semantic generation.
