Towards Creative Environments: Conclusions from Creative Space

In recent papers and a book [1], [2], we have investigated diverse types of knowledge creation processes based on the concept of Creative Space (a metamodel of knowledge creation processes). This paper comments first on recent changes of understanding the problem of knowledge and technology creation, then recalls the concepts of Creative Space and diverse spirals and models of processes of knowledge creation discerned in this space, including the Triple Helix of normal knowledge creation. This is followed by comments on a new understanding of the role of systems science in the new era of knowledge civilization. Based on these results, we present a review of the needs and possibilities of constructing diverse types of dedicated Creative Environments (information technology systems for supporting creativity) for knowledge and, in particular, technology creation.
