文摘

Creativity in construction is somehow intrinsic to the nature of designers. Never, as today, was there such a demand for newness. In Portugal, the situation is no different, where there is a body of young professionals eager to unveil a reality never before attempted or, simply, unknown to them. The momentum supports their motivation to experiment, with greater or lesser awareness, though not always with the desired results, either for lack of: training; information; handling of materials and products; openness of the Project Owner; specific and cross-cutting knowledge of other sciences (present in the maturation processes / sinterization solutions); accuracy in the use of technical terminology; professional and productive environment; test systems, prior validation, construction methodology, approval, robustness assessment, assurance and documented data.At times, news about the construction sector are disconcerting, even on outstanding works that evoke architectural creativity - supported by creative construction - as a purpose. Those are often awarded in international competitions, of recognised merit.The creativity by principle, is based on the reassessment dogmas. This statement, in the reality of contemporary construction, widely systematized, may translate into an overwhelming success but also into its opposite. The repetition of a defective solution can lead to the collapse of the whole, exponentially. Only a system equipped with tools that allow control over the decisions, in the different stages, can prevent failure, through the evaluation of those and consistent report on their impact, particular and overall. The involvement of fundamental entities, in the different phases, makes it possible to anticipate the robustness of the solution, a.k.a. creative construction, by the different operators, with general skills in diverse areas of knowledge, such as: assessment, monitoring and validation in the design stage or construction work; and assumption of guarantees, including corrective, if need to minimize the overall impact.
