The main concern and focus of this course will be about the "Creative Thinking" design process. The design process will focus mainly on methods of generating creative ideas considering simple functional needs, simple structures for small scale buildings, simple design problem solving. The course projects may be such as: a pavilion in a public garden, a bus station, a sightseeing kiosk, a small or medium span exhibition hall, and similar ones.
