Sorry if this is vague and overly general, but I'm open to anything.

Maybe an overview of how our notions of thinking and making have changed in recent history within a discipline. How design thinking or methods have been influenced by various things.

My background is more in architecture. I'm not so much looking for architectural theory or case studies on their own. More just how people actually think, make and develop work over time. Could be buildings, could be sculpture, painting...etc.

I feel like you can kind of pull this kind of information from traditional history books, case studies or theory. But I want something that talks about the design process in a more direct fashion.

It could also be about the development of an individual's creative process, or even within particular movements. Just something that you found meaningful and honest/direct.

The creativity thing is more of a secondary question. Kind of like a history of creativity as a concept. How notions of creativity have changed overtime in various cultures.
