关于可持续建筑和城市的辩论因不同的社会利益和不同的议程而形成，基于对环境挑战的不同解释，并具有不同的特点，每条道路都指向一系列可持续的未来。这里提出的社会技术理论的相关分析框架回应了技术创新和建筑设计的偶然性和情境性。这一分析既认识到可持续发展概念的争议性，也认识到在理解建筑时需要涵盖不同文化的设计过程的不同背景价值。因此，为了更全面地理解可持续建筑的异质性，我们必须考虑到环境问题通过不同的设计和开发途径被识别、定义、转化、重视并体现在建筑形式中的多种方式。探索可持续建筑的辩论和绘图实践涉及通过制定替代设计逻辑来追踪相互竞争的环境价值和实践的相互作用，因为它们塑造了绿色建筑发展的技术自然概况。虽然承认以技术、基于性能的方法来理解环境设计在突出建筑能效问题方面带来了毋庸置疑的好处，但文章认为，我们必须从根本上修改关于可持续建筑的辩论的焦点和范围，并将适当的技术变化问题与特定设计所处的社会和文化过程和实践重新联系起来。采用更具批判性、解释性、参与性和实用性的可持续设计方法，将使研究人员既能确定环境挑战的性质，又能鼓励采取更广泛的针对具体情况的应对措施。通过探索可持续建筑，作为对我们的环境未来的相互竞争的解释，我们可以开始提出新的问题，引入一些新的思维，并为与气候变化相关的越来越多的挑战找到新的“社会可行”的解决方案。
Debates about sustainable architecture and cities are shaped by different social interests and diverse agendas, based on different interpretations of the environmental challenge and characterized by different pathways, each pointing towards a range of sustainable futures. The related analytical framework of sociotechnical theory presented here responds to the contingent and contextual nature of technological innovation and building design. This analysis recognizes both the contested nature of the sustainability concept and the need to encompass the differing contextual values of the design process across cultures when understanding buildings. In order to more fully understand the heterogeneity of sustainable architecture we therefore have to account for the multiple ways environmental problems are identified, defined, translated, valued and then embodied in built forms through diverse design and development pathways. Exploring debates and mapping practices of sustainable architecture involves tracing the interplay of competing environmental values and practices through the enactment of alternative design logics as they shape the technonatural profiles of green building development. While acknowledging how a technical, performance-based approach to understanding environmental design has brought undoubted benefits in terms of highlighting the issues of energy efficiency in buildings, the article argues that we must fundamentally revise the focus and scope of the debate about sustainable architecture and reconnect issues of appropriate technological change to the social and cultural processes and practices within which a specific design is situated. Drawing upon more critical, interpretative, participative and pragmatic approaches to sustainable design would involve researchers both in defining the nature of the environmental challenge while encouraging a wider range of context-specific responses. By exploring sustainable architectures, in the plural, as competing interpretations of our environmental futures, we can begin to ask new questions, introduce some fresh thinking, and find new ‘socially viable’ solutions to the mounting challenges associated with climate change.
