Description: When we speak of creativity in relation to education, the word 'creativity' can at the same time refer to a tool and a characteristic; that is, it may refer to a (developing) ability of students that forms part of - and at times drives - their learning process and that we wish to foster and nurture through education, and it may refer to a quality of or within, a student's work. In the educational realm, the three questions posed by Bronowski in the epigraph are of equal relevance; to teach and assess creativity we must be able to answer the questions: what is creativity? How do we judge what is creative? And, what prompts students to make something which seems creative, to them and to others? These questions are, however, not straightforward and creativity remains a complex challenge to educators - within and beyond the disciplines of design and architecture.
