Krebs Cycle of Creativity (Neri Oxman, 2010s) – a model of collective creativity named after a process of cellular respiration. The model maps the flow of creative energy between four domains: Science, Engineering, Design, and Art. These disciplines are viewed as cyclically transforming information into knowledge, knowledge into utility, utility into behavior, and behavior into new perceptions of information. That is, Creativity is seen as a regenerative process where inspiration fuels ideation, ideas undergo development and refinement, and outputs spark new insights.
