Loose parts seems to be a popular buzzword; however, the principles have been around for many decades, and are formative in building creativity and imagination. Simon Nicholson, the landscape architect credited with the theory, explains creativity as “playing around with the components and variables of the world in order to make experiments and discover new things and form new concepts” (Nicholson, 1971). This playing around seems ambiguous, with many misconceptions about the definition and purpose of loose parts.
