This volume explores the meaning of the architectural creative act, following the dynamics of the relationship between creator-creative act-creation and the way in which architecture is defined over time, as a creative act both material and symbolic. Two protagonists, Antonio Averlino (Filarete) and Christopher Alexander, are singled out under the guiding concepts of poíēsis and poeta faber. The book initiates a dialogue over time between their works and concepts, engaging two cultures, the Renaissance and the contemporary, symbolically chosen for their importance in redefining the profession through the prism of its relation to the architectural creative act.

The core idea revolves around rediscovering the humanistic approach to architecture in and for the contemporary context, and using it in order to better understand architectural creation. This text appeals to students and researchers working in the history and theory of architecture, product, industrial design, and semiotics.

Simina Anamaria Lörincz is an architect and assistant professor at Transilvania University of Brașov, Romania. She studied architecture at Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Planning, Bucharest, Romania, where she also completed her Ph.D. She has been awarded a DAAD Grant for young researchers and conducted several study and research stays in Paris, Munich, Rome, and Venice. Her research interests lie in the areas of history and theory of architecture, product, and industrial design, semiotics, and symbolism within the creative act, creativity, and education. Her work has been published and disseminated in international and national journals, conferences, and workshops, earning her two nominations at prestigious architectural events. She is also the author of two books on creativity and the poietic value of architectural creation.
