Class Creative Processes

The Curricular Unit “Creative Processes” is developed in the context of psychological, social and economic phenomena, and within the scope of innovation and creativity processes, using texts from areas of knowledge outside the universe of design. Texts that introduce different perspectives, through some simple rules of interaction between texts, between texts and images, and between texts and products. It aims to introduce new content, new perspectives, in processes of innovation and creativity, thus adding other elements, generating articulated and variable movements, which are always renewed in different and unexpected configurations, depending on the perspectives introduced. It mainly uses analogies between knowledge that originates in biology and its extrapolation to realities in the context of organizations, companies, processes, products, territories, among others.
