Abstract

Research and design methods in solving the complex and complex problems of today's world have a double emphasis on creativity, and on the other hand, the fields or contexts for the development of creative thinking and practice are the main topics of leading education in various scientific and philosophical disciplines. The relationship between creativity and art and architecture as an applied art has also been discussed and researched by many researchers. Assuming a relationship between artistic knowledge and the development of creativity of architecture students, this study questions how the effect of playing music skills on their creative design, and its purpose is to find the effect of familiarity with this art on the design skills of architects.
The research method of this research uses a combined process based on Creswell research plan, and ends with the library and documentary method of the test, but a reasoning and logical approach governs the whole path. Accordingly, the target population consists of a group of 46 undergraduate students of architecture who are subjected to theoretical tests and then practical tests by performing architectural sketches. The results of the tests indicate that the group familiar with musical knowledge, in the Torrance creativity test and in the short-term design test based on the introduced indicators, show more relative creativity, but this rate is adaptable to the initial assumption and expectation. On the other hand, the analysis and evaluation performed by gender and indicators of creative effect, express significant results.
