“…According to Shah et al (2003), uncommon ideas/solutions are perceived as novel; and in a design space, they occupy points that are not initially noticed. An individual generates a novel outcome when it not identical to existing outcomes (Jagtap et al, 2015). Some authors employ 'infrequency' as a measure of novelty (e.g.…”

“…Novelty is also an important metric used to evaluate idea generation methods in engineering design (Jagtap, Larsson, Hiort, Olander, & Warell, 2015;Sadler, Shluzas, & Blikstein, 2016). Idea generation methods can be evaluated through process-based and/or outcome-based approaches (Shah, Smith, & Vargas-Hernandez, 2003).…”

Novelty is an important characteristic of a creative idea, forming a core component of creativity. Measurement of novelty is therefore essential to assess creativity. We found deficiencies in a frequently cited method of novelty assessment found in the literature. We refine this method by proposing four modifications, supported by drawing on examples of products and ideas. The refined method and the original method are evaluated by benchmarking them against the collective, intuitive assessment of product novelty by experienced designers. The overall achievement of the refined method as presented in this paper is its contribution to a better assessment of product novelty.

“…The method used to evaluate the effectiveness of the design process is Shah et al (2003) metric, which takes four parameters into account: quantity, variety, novelty, and quality. These metrics have been extensively applied to assess the effectiveness of the ideation process since they were first published (Oman et al 2013;Jagtap et al 2015). Their different parameters are defined as follows:…”

How the type of methodology used, when working in a natural environment, affects the designer's creativity

et al. 2022

The study of the mechanisms linked to creativity has become a topic of great interest in various scientific fields in recent decades. One area in which a particularly large amount of research has been conducted is on the positive effect of natural environments on creativity. Yet, none of these studies have focused on the interaction that may arise with the design method used. That is, they consider the empowering effect of nature on creativity to be something general, without taking into account other factors that may influence it, such as the type of methodology used. This paper therefore aims to go a step further and investigate how the type of design methodology used—intuitive or logical—in a simulated natural environment affects the designer’s creativity. The analysis of both the design process and its outcomes shows that the main differences in the way of working with design methodologies occur mainly in the case of intuitive methodologies, helping designers to improve the quality of their outcomes.
