博士 === 國立交通大學 === 土木工程學系 === 101 === Creativity comes from diverse interaction processes. There is great correlation between creativity and design activities. They all pursue the goal of creative thinking and emphasize the value of group dynamics. In design practice it could be found that expert designers spent a lot of time and efforts on talking with the specific consultants and peers. This showed that it was important to interact with each other in design activities. However, in the design field, few researchers discussed the effect of the interaction among designers on creativity in a group design process. Therefore, the paper would like to research what the creative process of peer-group interactions is and how the sharing of the design ideas influences the creative thinking of the designers in a peer-group. The objective of this research is to get a design creativity model for peer-group interactions from a pool of empirical data. The methodologies and steps in this study were divided into two main parts. Step one used the method of observations and case studies to observe two practical design cases and shape a preliminary design creativity model of group interaction first. The second step is to discuss the detail cognitive process in a design group using protocol analysis and then build a final design creativity model for peer-group interactions. The results are to understand the interaction of creative thinking in a group. It is useful not only for people to realize the process of group creativity, but also for designers to master their own creative thinking in the process which is interacted with others.
