Architect, designer and author William McDonough is well-known to many in sustainability as a pioneer in green building; as the erstwhile green dean of architecture; as co-author of the seminal 2002 book Cradle to Cradle ; as a designer of breakthrough buildings and materials; as a deep thinker about how design relates to a healthy and abundant future; and as an enthusiastic framer of the concepts and language that have become part of the sustainability lexicon.
On the occasion of his 70th birthday this month, I caught up with McDonough to discuss his journey and some seminal moments in his life and career, and how they influenced his work. And to take a peek into where he may be headed next.
