Creativity – crossing disciplines. The analysis of the author's attitude Agnieszka Kurkowska in the article Creativity – crossing disciplines. The analysis of the author's attitude refers to the issue of moving the knowledge and skills of an individual creator in various areas. The problem of the impossibility of narrow treatment of architecture as a strictly engineering discipline is outlined. An architect is involved in the surrounding spatial problems, their physical and non-physical aspects. In his statements he reaches areas related to architecture in order to strengthen and enrich these statement. The following work attempts to prove the thesis that the author's attitude analyzed here: showing the necessity to transgress disciplines in architectural design. It has shown, based on a case study, how moving beyond strict engineering can enrich an architect's designs and enhance the possibility of their impact. The designs selected for the presented analysis include designs of architectural objects, landscaping designs, furniture, utility items and interiors. They are also artistic projects using painting, graphics, sculpture, photography or spatial installation, as well as book publications. Another category are educational projects focused on series of workshop activities, educational materials, and participatory events. All the examples are linked by the person of the author, who moves in the area of several disciplines in his work, which in a time perspective shows a complete, multi-element attitude towards space, people using it and objects filling it. The aforementioned attitude contains several important components which, in certain cases, transfer it to specific tasks and related social and professional roles. Thus, an architect is sometimes a creator when he uses the tools of artistic expression, creating individual, unique objects on a different scale, simultaneously operating in the field of art and engineering. He can also be a scientist or researcher analyzing, deepening, searching, and verifying the adopted solutions. Sometimes he becomes a pedagogue or educator when he focuses his activities on transferring knowledge or strengthening the awareness of his activities’ addressees. Above all, however, an architect remains a person with a specific mental and physical structure, being a personal element of the community. An architect is an author who transcends various disciplines in his work, the necessity and purposefulness of which are to be proved by the presented analyzes and the case study supporting them
