The concept of design space as a conceptual working space is without doubt a useful tool for designers - allowing us to ask questions useful to the processes of designing (what, who, how, and why etc). But the way I see it, the real value of the design space is that it gives space for attending - a way of attending to our attending. The 'space' itself is whatever we need it to be, and its edges shift as they need to. What is important is that we attend designfully. The 'design space', then, is perhaps a space we make (in our lives) for designing.
Just my thoughts.
Humbly, Nicola
