| Abstract | A new perspective on how CAD might influence creativity in designing has been explored in this paper, based on an initial research investigation with postgraduate design students. The aim of the study was to distinguish whether creative behaviours were promoted through the use of CAD in designing. From the literature review, a number of creativity characteristics were distinguished and grouped into seven categories which were novelty, appropriateness, motivation, fluency, flexibility, sensitivity, and insightfulness. Research methods such as interviews, protocol analysis, design diaries, and observations have been employed to seek the links between CAD and creative behaviours in design activity. This paper presents and discusses the findings from the application of these methods in a number of case studies. From the research findings, significant relationships between the use of CAD and creative behaviours were established. Evidence from, in particular, protocol analysis will be presented showing these links. Further research will analyse a larger sample and explore the link between creative behaviours and creative outcomes. |
