Conceptualizing a Creativity Lab: Turning Physical, Virtual and Lifestyle Spaces into Creativity-Enhancing and Inspirational Environments
Authors: Giedrė Brazdauskaitė
Issue: 2021, Vol. 7.
Abstract
This paper is a conceptual contribution to an ongoing debate on how to advance creativity within the context of creativity labs. This paper aims to investigate the conceptual dynamics of a creativity lab that “trespass” the boundaries of a creativity-enabling physical facility and steps further into virtual online spaces and individual lifestyles at large. In turn, this paper is a conceptual analysis on how to conceptualize and extend the concept of a creativity lab towards its wider and further implications.
Based on literature review on creativity labs, the objective of this paper is to provide guidelines and implications on how to extend the definition of a creativity lab beyond the boundaries of physical facilities. As recent research abounds in different factors and elements stimulating creativity in creativity labs, this paper aims to distinguish and conceptualize three basic functional trajectories of creativity labs: a creativity lab as a collaborative space, a creativity lab as an inspirational space, and a creativity lab as a creatively facilitated space.
Keywords: creativity, creativity lab, innovation lab, creativity-enhancing environment, creative collaboration, inspirational space, creative facilitation.
