Abstract

Creativity is a unique trait and attribute defining the higher level of educational taxonomy. In Architectural education, creativity is one of the main objectives of learning output and outcome. It is also a pre-requisite of enrolment that is required by all architectural schools in the world. Creativity becomes a major component in the framework of architecture education worldwide. It plays a crucial role in design education. Despite the growth of architecture schools offering design education particularly in studio-based architecture learning, there is lack of research and finding that can define creativity from Islamic perspective. In Islam, creativity is often understood as a reflection of human beings' innate ability to think, imagine, and innovate, which are perceived as gifts from Allah (God). This study aims to investigate and to construct a principle of creativity as underlined by the Quran for Architecture and design-based education. The research approach will mainly be focusing on experimentation of Islamic teachings with the aid of case study in architecture studio-based learning output. The comparison of theoretical finding with the actual case in teaching and learning output in the studio will be discussed through studio rubric and marking system with expert consolidation. The finding underscores the connection between the attribute of creativity in Islam with the teaching methodologies and student learning outcome in architectural studio. The finding suggests several alignments on conventional educational taxonomy by incorporating Islamic creativity principles that align with ethical and moral values, emphasizing that the outcome of creative endeavors should contribute to the betterment of human being and harmonize with nature.
