Creativity of Interactive Academic Education for Sustainable Urban Development

Cities are multiplex ecosystems driven by our daily life style, which directly reflect in our health, resources, economics, social and community services. It can be spatially considered that cities are unique and regionally specific. Education for sustainable development is a process with a primary role to protect and use of environment, to manage spatial planning and urban development as a whole holistic system. In relation to education for sustainable development, creativity of urban planning and design can significantly improve quality of life of their urbanites. Hence, students and teachers are an epic symbiosis in a process of teaching and learning. Actually, this interaction can be more bonded and interdependent with high-tech didactic tools. The digital era has implemented in the education system new creative methods of learning, a new way of life and style in schooling. The relationship between a student of architecture and teachers broadened more with introduction of computer aided design and simulation tools in presenting those ideas into the reality. The new millennium began a crucial activity for the city of Prishtina in terms of urban, demographic and socio-spatial phenomenon’s. The research methods consist of empirical observation carried out during 25 years of experience in academia, and direct observation of teaching methods. The purpose of this paper is to examine the teaching process, with the focus on creativity of interactive education for sustainable development. Findings indicate that through an informal meeting places for interactive education, the teaching process in architectural studies can bring more: sustainable development and awareness of space, a didactic process which bonds multidimensional threads between students and teachers; thus, strengthening a powerful sense of partnership, avoiding boredom and passive learning, while facing the real day to day challenges, accompanied with the development of technology, life style, and global world trends. Research concludes that uniform old teaching platform, cannot respond to all specific issues faced by students in this globalisation era. Therefore, new teaching strategies must involve interactive education for sustainable development, and education research as a new partnership, a new working holistic system between students and teachers, thus, working together simultaneously towards continuous improvement of academia processes, answering to the needs of new globalisation era.
