Abstract
Sustainability transitions are generating comprehensive learning spaces, which yield substantial reconfigurations not only in our practices and actions, sociotechnical systems, but also in our cognitive constructs. This article tackles the agency of design in transitions, by particularly focusing on bottom-up and emergent learning processes at niches. An overview on common lines of inquiry from (1) design theory, (2) multi-level perspective (MLP) of system innovations and (3) practice theory (PT), which commonly address the agencies of design and learning in transitions, is presented. Consequently, we propose an integrative analytic-theoretical framework, and describe it with an exemplary analysis of a community-led transition project.Description
