William McDonough, Architect
Article Abstract:
The architect William McDonough's achievements of sustainable designed environmentally sound buildings have gained him increasing attention in both corporate and ecological conservation circles. In order to contribute to the health of the environment, reduce the impact of human activity on ecosystems, and help sustain those ecosystems over time, McDonough reconsidered his approach to architecture and developed a new philosophy by using an illustration of three points of triangle, which represent economic returns, social good and environmental benefits.
