Abstract
This thesis examines how the transition from hand sketching to digital tools like CAD software and Adobe programs has affected the creativity of architecture students at TU Delft from the late 20th century to the present. Through the creation of a historical history of these tools, the research investigates their role in the conceptual design process as well as their impact on ideation and creative thinking. In order to comprehend how these tools have changed architectural education, it integrates teacher and student interviews, theoretical viewpoints on creativity, and an examination of instructional strategies. In order to foster creativity in architectural design, the ultimate objective is to acquire knowledge that will aid in finding a balance between conventional and digital approaches.
