This paper explores the intricate relationship between architecture and creativity, with a particular emphasis on the concept of autotelicity. Autotelicity, defined as a state where an individual fully immerses themselves in an activity within a spatial context, is examined as a crucial element in the creative process and appreciation of architecture. The investigation revolves around how autotelicity can form the basis for architectural concepts and how architecture, in turn, can encourage user creativity through this lens. Through case studies of children's spaces, this research aims to illuminate these concepts and provide fresh insights into how architecture influences our spatial perception while fostering creative thought and behavior. The emphasis on autotelicity underscores architecture's potential to inspire creativity and enjoyment in everyday spatial use.
