An Hindered Creativity? Design Technical Supports from Organological Approach
The aim of this contribution is to offer a specific analysis of creativity focused on the role of workplaces and their technical equipment. We develop an organological analysis within five industrial firms. Organology is a joint analysis of technical, social, and individual dimensions to develop new objects. We question the resources for supporting creativity and their capacity of enlarging or weakening the creativity of designers. We show that creative capacities are now assisted by powerful digital instruments which raise the question of the dynamics of capacities for creation of professionals.
