From the lineage of Thomas Jefferson and Buckminster Fuller emerges another brilliant prophet of the possible. Architect William McDonough is carrying the banner of "anticipatory design science" to this generation and he is waving it in the boardrooms of some of the largest global corporations. The buildings, product innovations and ideas emerging from his team are at the forefront of what he calls "the next industrial revolution." It is a revolution so profound that it views humans as tools of nature. The central question that drives McDonough's work is: "How can we best serve all the children of all species, for all time?"
Former Dean of the Architecture Department at the University of Virginia, Time magazine named McDonough a "Hero for the Planet" in 1999. He is the author with his partner, Michael Braungart, of the book Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things (Farrar, Straus and Geroux 2002). In this, part 1, of the three-part special series recorded at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, McDonough offers a fresh path out of the history of mindless timefullness.
- How growing up in Hong Kong, Japan and the Yukon affected McDonough's world view
