Abstract

The chapter is a critical look at the relationship between space and creativity, and at the concepts “creative space” and “space of creativity”. Using examples from everyday life, developmental psychology, and author’s own writing practice, as well as Martin Heidegger’s philosophical idea of “dwelling” and Andy Clark and David Chalmers’ philosophical-psychological idea of “extended cognition”, the author suggests that creativity is an aspect of the relationship between humans and space, and that singling out specific spaces as “creative” simultaneously hides many everyday and subversive kinds of creative activities and relationships.
