Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to propose a way of using the concept of sustainability in design of technical artefacts. Given the recent efforts in designing a more sustainable environment of the artificial, there is a need for an explication of the concept of sustainability as characteristic to the design of technical artefacts. I argue that technical artefacts are designed as sustainable
based on the extent side effects are addressed with the design. I present necessary and sufficient conditions in the presence of which the design of technical artefacts falls under the concept of sustainability in design, and argue for the usefulness of the resulting conception of sustainability. The proposed paper is a philosophical approach to a conceptual analysis and as such is aimed at contributing to the epistemology of design.
