Using Phenomenography To Investigate Different Ways Of Experiencing Sustainable Design
Llewellyn Mann, Gloria Dall’Alba, David Radcliffe
Abstract
This paper reports research conducted on the variation in experiences of sustainable design in practice. The experiences with sustainable design of a group of twenty-two engineers and nonengineers were investigated empirically. This revealed five qualitatively different ways of experiencing sustainable design. These have implications for both improving future practice, and the education of students about sustainable design.
