  • Analyzed everyday practices such as food provisioning and household organization.
  • Developed three strategies: contrasting, diversifying, and tracing for Transition Design.
  • Identified everyday life as differentiated, locally-global, and infrastructurally entangled.
  • Showed that households exhibit varied practices that reflect transitional potentials.
  • Argued for the importance of critical proximity in recognizing household practices for effective design.
