What is this?

Overview

Make Space (John Wiley & Sons, 2012) is a book by Scott Doorley & Scott Witthoft based on the work of our Environments Collaborative – the team who designed and developed the d.school space.

It is a tool for helping people intentionally manipulate space to ignite creativity.

Appropriate for designers charged with creating new spaces or anyone interested in revamping an existing space, this guide offers novel and non-obvious strategies for changing surroundings specifically to enhance the ways in which teams and individuals communicate, work, play—and innovate. This work is based on years of classes and programs at the d.school including countless prototypes and iterations with d.school students and spaces.
