📚 Creativity Exercises for Architecture Students

Creativity is a muscle, and this book is the gym. Original ideas do not arrive by waiting, they are trained. Creativity Exercises for Architecture Students, written with Tifa Studio, is a hands-on workbook of design exercises that stretch your creative range, refresh your thinking and build the originality that separates memorable projects from safe ones.

This is not a book you read on the couch; it is a book you do. Each exercise pushes you to approach design from an unfamiliar angle and gives you a blank “draw here” page to answer it, so every finished page leaves you with a technique you can reuse in studio.

📦 What’s inside

• Exercises that raise your creative ability: Exercise 1, “The no rules rule”, asks you to imagine a country with no construction, weight or structural rules, then write and draw five crazy ideas you would build there.
• Exercises that refresh a tired creative mind: in “Your emotionist” you sketch your moods from different times of yesterday as emojis, turn them into geometric forms and develop one into a plan and mass.

• New design methods to learn: playful prompts that make you draw from unusual starting points, shown with example sketches.

• Creativity in developing your career: the fourth theme of the book, for students who see creativity as what drives a design career.
• Unlimited Q&A: questions about the book are welcome at [email protected].
