The Interdisciplinary Model of Creative Practice (IMCP)
This study involved recording and reflecting on the mapping journey over the course of a year, leading to the development of the Interdisciplinary Model of Creative Practice (IMCP). This chapter provides a description of a framework for the mapping process that was fundamental in the making of the mapping prototypes. The IMCP was used as a method of data collection, to collate, organise and make sense of the data, through documenting the creative mapping process.
The concept of ‘macro’ and ‘micro’ points of view were introduced, which presents this process through a more nuanced, detailed view or zoomed out for a holistic, overarching view of the creative process.
Weaving of the disciplines
The Interdisciplinary Model of Creative Practice comparing ‘micro’ and ‘macro’ points of view
The IMCP shows an individual journey in the park; I call this detailed perspective 'micro' view
The IMCP shows a combination of journeys in the park; I call this overarching perspective 'macro' view
A walk in the park as seen from both 'micro' and 'macro' points of view (an individual walk or holistic overaching view of multiple walks)
The detailed weather information as seen in 'micro' view of the IMCP, versus the summarised information in the 'macro' view
The route as seen in 'micro' view of the IMCP, versus the layering pf multiple routes as seen in the 'macro' view
The object collection from a single walk in the park as seen in 'micro' view of the IMCP, versus the cabinet of curiousities as seen in the 'macro' view, showing the collection of objects from the walks in the park
The individual space-time cube shown here in 'micro' view of the IMCP, compared to the multiple space-time cubes in the 'macro' view
