Abstract

In the early years of architectural education, social and cultural, material and immaterial, ethical and aesthetic design considerations are introduced to novice learners. These design knowledges are often perceived by students as insufficiently defined and unfamiliar. As a result, students experience their initiation to creative thinking as an othering process, a state of alterity. The paper theorises the relationship of creativity and alterity in early years of design learning and discusses its pedagogical value by reflecting on the learning process of a design unit that brought together two inclusive drama groups and first- and second-year students of architecture.
