Design space exploration is an activity in which a designer or design team systematically explores a range of design options and analyzes potential outcomes to identify the best possible design solution for a given problem or project. This exploration can include examining different materials, shapes, colors, functionality, and user needs. The goal is to optimize the design within given constraints such as budget, time, resources, and technical feasibility. Design space exploration can be done by using various techniques such as sketching, prototyping, simulations, and data analytics. It can be seen as a creative and iterative process that allows designers to refine ideas until they arrive at the best design solution.
