Tenth Annual Wallace Stegner Lecture Series: William McDonough February 11, 2004

Internationally renowned designer William McDonough is an inspiring and forward-thinking leader in sustainability offering a new perspective on how to approach building, waste issues, and simply looking at problems. His ideas and efforts were honored in 1996 when he received the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development, the nation's highest environmental honor. Time magazine recognized him as a "Hero for the Planet" in 1999, stating that "his utopianism is grounded in a unified philosophy that ? in demonstrable and practical ways ? is changing the design of the world." His first book, Cradle to Cradle: The Way We Make Things, was published in 2002 by North Point Press.
