This journal is about a study on the concepts of creativity and intelligence and to propose new techniques to be applied to the architectural space of playschools in order to encourage children’s intelligence and creativity. A study being carried out that can be used as a supportive evidence to include in architectural ideas. Through this journal it is discovered that learning through experiencing surrounding environment or outdoor is more effective and desirable. Different environments particularly outdoor surroundings potentially encourage children to discover and be more creative. Kids are more open to create a social circumstance in their mind.

Following are some environmental considerations that play the role of stimulating creativity: • Natural factors of environment: creating a natural landscape of the environment that is affective in the growth creativity. According to Shibatana and Suzuki, the existence of the plants in educational spaces has the stimulating effect on the process of creativity (McCoy and Evans, 2002) • Colour: light colours and the use of coordinated colours for creating light space are effective on the growth of the creativity. Many researchers believe that the use of desirable colourful and exciting pictures can be the main motivation for all creativities (Shafaei, 2009, p. 116)

The conclusion of this research shows that colour and lighting play an influential part in the development of creativity and intelligence. This is proved by using a regression model for data analysis (Safaripoor, 2016, p.13). The practice of using colours such as red and orange on walls of the learning schoolrooms encourages the attentiveness of the kids and inspires their mind. Appropriate lighting in the learning rooms must not be so reflective that makes the eyes of the users drained. The use of artificial lights instead of the natural lights, and the use of light amusements by the colourful glasses and creating dark-lights in the kindergarten space making the space dreamy and endorse the inspiration of kids and escalates their creativity.
