"Timeless Space"​ for Creativity - Education based on Memory + Imagination, Past & Future not the PRESENT please!

Image
CREATIVItY, or rather Creative Thinking, happens exactly in the "timeless space" of the encounter between our memory and our capacity for imagination, that is, between the past and the future. Memory  feeds on  "lived" experiences  whether they are factual, "adjusted by our present perception of what was the reality" or fictitious.  Imagination  feeds on the projections we are capable of making of the future. In this timeless space, "informed creativity"  is born, built on the stimuli of "experience" and "imagination" that allows us to "cross" or re-interpret signs and signifiers, generating  new meaning or "new information" . We tend to call this process  "Intuition"  many times because it is difficult to accurately make it tangible and define all the moments that happen internally in our body and which are then  transformed  into the  creative Idea  or the creative solution.

The problem is a whole set of people who have appropriated "design thinking" as a...

What is DELLI HAUS - Experimental research "in-class" studio?

Image
In today's academic world full of "Factories", "Agencies", "Employability" departments, internships... Why DELLI still focus on the Studio, Office, "Haus" experimental Learning Experience approach? Today let me start by stating what the DELLI HAUS concept is NOT! DELLI HAUS is not a "FACTORY"; DELLI HAUS is not a Structure to "build" personal "Egos and fake Personas"; DELLI HAUS is not a "alternative medicine" to host lectures and researchers that don't have a Professional Background and real life project experience and use the "factories" to undercover this "missing part" of their Curriculum; DELLI HAUS is not a "low cost agency" to compete in the Market with the real life market Design companies, Studios, Ateliers and Freelance Designers; DELLI HAUS is not a Show-off of Market brands that uses this University "factories" to pay much less for creat...
