对于人们应该如何生活的问题，没有单一的答案，也没有解决当前生态问题的任何银弹，然而，当代设计必须根据不断出现的环境挑战寻求思考和行动的方法。我们在这里介绍Switch的概述！设计研究计划，我们以前的工作如何互动和产品设计可以促进日常生活中的能源使用意识的延续。将这种方法扩展到更大的建筑和城市规模，Switch！成立的目的是探索设计作为一种介入多种和相互渗透的技术，材料和社会系统或生态的可能性。除了设计材质、对象和界面，Switch！还探讨了如何设计可以参与分期潜在的场景，叙事和辩论。能源生态干预措施的设计和设计方法的使用成为一个平台，可以揭露现有的习惯和隐藏的规范，并提出替代行动和观点。这些主张是通过实际实验和设计实例的具体化而发展起来的。我们调查的核心是批判性实践如何使我们能够检查和讨论可持续设计背后的概念，策略和意识形态。
There is no single answer to the question of how people should live, nor any silver bullet for solving current ecological problems—and yet, contemporary design must seek ways to think and act in light of emerging environmental challenges. We present here an overview of the Switch! design research program, a continuation of our previous work on how interaction and product design can promote awareness of energy use in everyday life. Extending this approach to a larger architectural and urban scale, Switch! was set up to explore the possibilities of design as an intervention into multiple and interpenetrating technical, material and social systems—or ecologies. In addition to designing materials, objects, and interfaces, Switch! also examines how design can be engaged in staging potential scenarios, narratives and debates. The design of interventions into energy ecologies and the use of design methods become a platform for exposing existing habits and hidden norms as well as for proposing alternative actions and views. These propositions have been developed through practical experimentation and the materialization of design examples. Central to our investigation is how critical practice enables us to examine and discuss the concepts, strategies and ideologies underlying sustainable design.
