Hi everyone
In addition to what has been said one could go an look at (1) the
classic texts addressing sustainable design on the small and big scale,
e.g. McLennan, J. F. (2004), The Philosophy of Sustainable Design;
Sustainable Design
By Daniel A. Vallero, Chris Brasier; Design for sustainability by Janis
Birkeland ... (2) accept that depending on scale - landscape design,
industrial design, architecture the principles and issues will vary; (3)
do an analysis of institutions currently offering major programs in
sustainable design, e.g. University of Texas, Carnegie Mellon, TU Delft
... what do they see as important; (4) interview and maybe survey
people; (5) look at professional and government definitions, e.g.
http://www.sustainability.vic.gov.au/www/html/1645-design-forsustainability.asp;
http://www.designcouncil.org.uk/en/About-Design/Business-Essentials/Sustainability/.
This won't give you the history you're looking for but this in itself
would require a very thorough historical analysis I suspect taking a
very long time. Limiting oneself to a specific discipline, e.g.
architetctrue might make the whole project easier, in a sense, but then
think about how the term sustainable willl have been redefined over the
years with economic, technology and other historical and social changes.
So a history will be a history of shifting definitions and applications.
One will see, whatever you do, that the term is used everywhere as it is
would be impolitic to not do so in the current climate.
A few texts perhaps not mentioned so far stright off google scholar
