An Analytical Framework of Creative Contexts and Spaces for the Understanding of Multidisciplinary Creativity

This terminological and procedural investigation is willing to highlight the main characteristics that creativity, within a multidisciplinary and socio-culturally diverse scenario, is able to generate. In particular, through the analysis of case studies, an analytical framework has been designed as a future implementable evaluation guide. Therefore, after an overall look at the research context—integrated by a review of the literature—the attention of the research will turn towards what is defined, with some variables, as creative contexts. This is going to provide a base guide for the understanding of all those spaces, cities, and territories in which creativity takes place. This will primarily help define guidelines for the main investigation: the identification, analysis and comparison of a series of case studies. Starting from a protocol analysis, the main qualitative and quantitative data will be extracted, visualised and finally critically analysed. In particular, the visual management of the data compared will be able to provide further ideas of the current creative context state. At the same time, it also guides the creation of a conceptual framework useful for evaluating them, as well as other contexts. This is in order to develop, evaluate and increase the understanding of the relationship between the methodological dynamics that stimulate creativity. Also, the value and support of those spaces, cities and territories within the same dynamics. This, therefore, makes it possible to generate an analytic grid of currently creative contexts, but at the same time, also a grid of guidelines aimed at encouraging those contexts willing to increase their skills and creative capital.
