ARCHITECTURAL INFLUENCE ON THE INTELLIGENCE AND CREATIVITY OF CHILDREN

The main objective of this research is to study the concepts of creativity and intelligence, causes and roots of nurturing a creative and intelligent person, and to offer solutions for the architectural space of kindergartens in order to promote the children's intelligence and creativity. This study is a descriptive-correlative research. We have used the random cluster sampling method. The sample includes 60 trainers of Bandar Abbas kindergartens. Due to the lack of any standard related questionnaire, we have used a research-made questionnaire. We analyzed the data at two levels of descriptive and inferential statistics. At descriptive level we used statistical indexes such as the mean and frequency; and at the inferential level we relied on step-by-step regression and Pearson correlation test. Findings of the research show the trainers believe that the most important factor in increasing the creativity is the stimulation by natural elements. Descriptive results include architectural ideas.
