Abstract Under the umbrella concepts of upscaling and emerging technology, a wide variety phenomena related to technology development deployment in society are examined meet societal imperatives (e.g., environment, safety, social justice). The design literature does not provide an explicit common theoretical practical framework clarify assessment method handle “an” upscaling. In this nebulous context, designers struggling identify characteristics anticipate consequences This article therefore first proposes structuring analyze range industrial sectors (energy, chemistry, building, etc.). characterization brought light five prevalent archetypes clarifying technology. Then, synthesis invariants methodological requirements for is proposed deal with according each archetype, based on review existing methods. process showed disparity treatment some archetypes, regarding sector. A discussion consequently conclusion guide practices.
