Purpose: This study aimed at suggesting teaching and learning method to adopt creative thinking techniques for
an architectural design studio class. Method: In this class students learned creative problem solving ability to
enhance their creative thinking. A synergic method was applied in the architectural design classes. Research
outcomes which are yielded in such a way develops the students’ creative thinking abilities. With this
application of creative thinking techniques to the class, the research suggests new teaching learning strategies
which can empirically be implemented major courses. Results: Several creative thinking techniques were
implemented in the architectural design studio. This course was studied by the 1st year college students of the
department of architecture. Through these many students devised unique and various ideas and reach the actual
design work. Conclusion: Implementing creative thinking techniques such as speech mediator, story board,
pictogram and activity diagram, it suggests the effective model for architectural design students to develop the
ideas. Additionally, it has been discovered that the shape creating method with applying some kinds of creative
thinking techniques would be more simultaneous than linear, which could be applied to shape developing in
design process. It can be implied with this paper that more creative novel shapes could be developed if some
creative thinking techniques are applied.
