Cradle
to Cradle
Originally published in 2002, Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make
Things is now considered “the authoritative tome” on the subject of
eco-effectiveness and beneficial design. This manifesto of environmentalism has
turned the sustainable design industry on its head by expanding the definition
of design quality to include positive effects on ecological and social health,
while at the same time creating positive economic value.
The
Upcycle
Building on the established principles of Cradle to Cradle, The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability–Designing for Abundance
showcases decades of experience from both McDonough and Braungart as they
demonstrate the efficacy of designing for positive human and environmental
impact while also increasing economic value generation. Utilizing examples from
McDonough’s work with organizations including Ford, Nike, and NASA, The Upcycle presents a world of
possibility in the future of sustainable design.
The
Hannover Principles
Written by William McDonough Architects as
sustainable design guidelines for the City of Hannover, Germany, in preparation
for the Expo 2000, The World’s Fair. Twenty five years later, these principles,
grounded in the enduring laws of nature, continue to inform sustainable designs
and dialog. The 10th anniversary edition has been updated to include an
introduction by Teresa Heinz, an essay by William McDonough and Michael
Braungart, and an afterword by David Rosenberg.
