In this article, three types of joins are introduced for subspaces of a vector space. Decompositions of the Gra{ss}mannian into joins are discussed. This framework admits a generalization of large set recursion methods for block designs to subspace designs. We construct a $2$-$(6,3,78)_5$ design by computer, which corresponds to a halving $operatorname{LS}_5[2](2,3,6)$. The application of the new recursion method to this halving and an already known $operatorname{LS}_3[2](2,3,6)$ yields two infinite two-parameter series of halvings $operatorname{LS}_3[2](2,k,v)$ and $operatorname{LS}_5[2](2,k,v)$ with integers $vgeq 6$, $vequiv 2mod 4$ and $3leq kleq v-3$, $kequiv 3mod 4$. Thus in particular, two new infinite series of nontrivial subspace designs with $t = 2$ are constructed. Furthermore as a corollary, we get the existence of infinitely many nontrivial large sets of subspace designs with $t = 2$.
