Monticello Dialogues - William McDonough

If you're interested in hearing more from William McDonough,
the architect, you can download some of his talks from the
'The Monticello Dialogues, Part I: Democratic Design'
from Learn Out Loud.

From the sites 'product description':
"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 child-
ren of all species, for all time?"

...Good AND Free!
