Abstract:
This qualitative interview study explores the nuanced ways in which design, art and architecture faculty interpret the concept of radical creativity, examining how they situate the concept within the context of their disciplines and the impact they associate with it. We reveal a focus on transversal and transformative nature as well as framing in the perceived characteristics associated with radical creativity. The findings underscore challenges in assessing radicality, which might act as an early indicator for the potential of radical creativity.
