If we want to answer the question - "(How) do we (want to) work (together) (as (socially engaged) designers, (students and neighbors)) (in neoliberal times)?"
- we must also ask, in the words of Henri Lefebvre:
"What space do we produce?"
The production of space is central to the relationship
between work and design.
Lefebvre initiated the move away from observing what was produced in space and toward observing how space is produced as such.
This space is always a social space, neither solely material nor purely operational:
Social space is not a thing among other things, nor a product among other products: rather, it subsumes things produced, and encompasses their interrelationships in their coexistence and simultaneity - their (rel-ative) order and/or (relative) disorder. It is the outcome of a sequence and set of operations, and thus cannot be reduced to the rank of a simple object. At the same time there is nothing imagined, unreal or "ideal" about it as compared, for example, with science, representations, ideas or dreams.1
