Sid,
Isn't it the case, and there are several case studies to support that the
analytical mind works in a different way to the creative 'design' oriented one?
(Bayliss?)
Maybe the widely held assumption is not that far from the truth, in that the
analytical bias overides the ability to correlate the activity of designing with
any real experience within that particular mindset.
If a deaf person understands how a violin creates a sound - can they still
really understand Vivaldi?
Understanding how form evolves cannot take precedence over the originator's
innate ability - but at the same time , it seems the same talent pecludes the
faculty to analyse this act of creation. This goes to an earlier point - can one
mindset create and at the same time analyse effectively?
Bi-lingualists tend to have slightly less control over each language, and
tri-linguists less again (a personal observation in France). Is this the same
case between a designer and an academic?
