Abstract
The prospective architect-engineer must become familiar with the complexities of their future profession. However, this familiarity is only a starting point, as one of the main goals of architectural education is to encourage and stimulate the creative thinking of future professionals. Nowadays, innovative knowledge should be at the core of education provided to engineering students. To introduce students to a difficult or unfamiliar concept, synectics is used. It is a problem-solving methodology that uses connections between seemingly irrelevant elements, allowing the creation of new solutions that were previously disregarded. In the article, the author discusses the proposed use of synectics in architectural design education. The compressed conflict analogy of forms and the forced fit of functions serve as tools of architectural design education in the Faculty of Architecture at Cracow University of Technology, Kraków, Poland. The completed design topic Car Park-Theatre in Wieliczka is presented as a result of the implementation of this approach.
