Abstract

The transition design framework works within the limits of the ecological boundary of the natural world. This position resonates with a deeper and more radical response to unsustainability, particularly when compared to mainstream design activity, which mainly responds to the economic imperative. This paper explores ways to educate the eco-literate designer and addresses the potential for designed outcomes to grow levels of ecoliteracy through the way designs are interacted with, used and adapted in their lifetimes.
