As well as thinking about how we conceive space, it must be said that relationships are the enablers of construction.
How a designer constructs and maintains a relationship in a project has a direct affect on the outcome, both as an occupation and an artifact. This might then suggest the role of communication in the design process, not as a technical tool, but a relationship management tool. The early design crit, the briefing sessions, the consultation with stakeholders has something to do with developing connections between people. They are environments to found relationships and develop them.
In this way the design process can be seen as a resource or fuel for production of a relationship, and thence one sees the potential for community building, or simply team building.
There is a need to better understand what is the real value of a team atmosphere beyond implicit expectations, however it is generally accepted that what produces a thing by many people is the conception of a team, whether it be antagonistic or agonistic, connections between participating parts will assemble a thing both through their own assemblage point, or tunnel of perception, and through the environment in which they connect, or culture.
So if we are assuming the role of the social in making things:
What is social?
