Abstract

This paper detects the levels of contribution to design creativity of critical moves and sudden insights and identifies the syntheses the creative process may take. Using architecture case studies, designing situations are analysed as sketching episodes that reflect the structural units of reasoning to deduce common characteristics for the emergence of critical moves and sudden insights.
