Ideation space, problem space and solution space

Ideation space, problem space and solution space are all abstract elements. However, the idea, the problem and the solution themselves can be actual or perceived, or tangible or intangible. The ideation space can be seen as the sphere in which ideas are generated, the problem space the field in which the problem is framed and the solution space the area in which the solution is found. The rational for making the separation between these spaces is to help better understand the role of intuition, the chain of thoughts and logical reasoning in the design process at cognitive levels. Moreover, idea communication resides in the ideation space, idea management occupies the problem space, and idea realisation inhabits the solution space. Furthermore, these spaces, or elements, may be represented in a Venn diagram where the three elements comprising of circles overlap showing their interrelationship.
