“For any situations, when we are working on concepts… on the ideation phase. If a designer comes in with less then five equally valuable solutions to every questions that we ask, they probably won’t be back or won’t do it a second time.” –Alistair Hamilton, Microsoft

Fritz Zwicky "... within the final and true world image everything is related to everything, and nothing can be discarded a priori as being unimportant." Discovery, Invention, Research through the Morphological Approach, 1969. Morphological analysis is simply an ordered way of looking at things." (Fritz Zwicky
Let’s suppose we want to know every way to convert energy ?
Zwicky propose: 1. list the energy forms 2. make a matrix 3. explore the relation

???
Sum up - Morphological analysis: 1. list the main parameters 2. make a matrix 3. explore the relations 4. study contradictions 5. reduce the space http://www.swemorph.com/ma.html

How to solve a problem ? 1911 - Edward Thorndike had developed his law of effect Behaviourist researchers argued that problem solving was a reproductive process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vk6H7Ukp6To 1911 - Gestalt psychologists argued that problem solving was a productive process. 1972 - Allen Newell and Herbert Simon people solve problems by searching in a problem space. The problem space consists of the initial (current) state, the goal state, and all possible states in between.
“Every problem-solving effort begin with creating a representation for the problem – a problem space in which the search for the solution can take place …” Simon 1969 p108 –Simon 1969 p108

From your perspective • What happened when you want to buy a technological product? • Do you think about it? • How do you think about it? • Do you compare it to plausible alternatives?
Questions options criterias • Question are identifying key design issues • Options provide possible answers to the questions • Criterias are for assessing and comparing the options

GROUP • Process regroup all the de-initions that do not consider setting up as a speci-ic activity. These replies are considering the exploration process of the design space as a way to setup it. • Structure regroup all the de-initions focus on creating a structure or an organisation that constitutes the design space. • Existing work regroup the de-initions that build the design space from a collection of existing design and previous works. • People regroup the de-initions, which are referring to people point of view, interests and problem perceptions.
Process
Process “I think a design space is almost entirely conceptual, so I don’t think I set one up. I think I explore it..” –Jason Dykes
Process “I think a design space is almost entirely conceptual, so I don’t think I set one up. I think I explore it.” ”a continuous process of mapping your current understanding of the world into a more organized structured”
Process
Structure
Structure “The choice of the dimension of the design space is essential to a successful creation process.” –Ben Shenidermann
Structure The top down aspect is to extract abstract frame from a problem, The bottom up aspects is to think of some concrete solutions and try to -it them into the abstract frame. In this de-inition the process is describe as an iterative process between this two levels, the abstraction and the solutions.
