| Title: | How a user centred and democratic design responds to purchase behaviours regarding improved energy technology? |
| Questions in detail: | How balanced is the relation between engineering (i.e. to achieve efficiency with chimney, temperature control, automated ash collection, electricity needs and other extras) and social science (i.e. focused on the person(s) doing the cooking and his/her context)?
In the practice, which colours & symbols are associated to: trust, luxury, reliability, good, status, prestige, happiness, accomplishment, clean, wealth, trustworthy, sophistication, etc.?

Which are the documented examples to contextualize technologies to social aspects such as culture, beliefs, practices, etc.?
