Our Cradle to that—in demonstrable and Cradle® – inspired buildings and communities embody enduring standards of design quality and practical ways—is changing the economic, ecological and social responsibility. design of the world.” We practice a positive, principled approach to —Time Magazine, “Hero for the Planet” design that draws inspiration from living systems and processes. At its heart, this unique approach celebrates the abundance of nature. Founded by William McDonough in New York in 1981, the practice was relocated to Charlottesville, Virginia in 1994, when McDonough became Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia. The firm’s partners collaborate closely with McDonough to bring his design concepts into reality. In the process, we have created pioneering architecture and community designs that consider the long-term consequences of design. Among the practice’s diverse achievements are several recognized landmarks of the sustainability movement: the Herman Miller “GreenHouse” Factory and Offices; Gap, Inc.’s Corporate Campus (now home to YouTube); the Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies at Oberlin College; the Ford Rouge Revitalization and Sustainability Base: NASA’s first space station on earth. < YOUTUBE HEADQUARTERS (current) GAP CORPORATE CAMPUS (former) San Bruno, California | Completed 1997 1 ©2020 WILLIAM MCDONOUGH + PARTNERS ©2020 WILLIAM MCDONOUGH + PARTNERS 2 OUR DESIGN APPROACH William McDonough + Partners (WM+P) is a collaborative, principles-driven design firm that sees the unique characteristics of each place and project as a source of inspiration and innovation.

  • Ecological Design and Material Election for Furniture Under the Philosophy of Green Manufacturing
    ·416· Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Innovation & Management Ecological Design and Material Election for Furniture under the Philosophy of Green Manufacturing Zhang Qiumei1, Zhang Weimei2, Wang Gongming1 1 Central South University of Forestry and Technology, Changsha, P.R.China, 410002 2 Hunan City University, Yiyang, P.R.China, 413000 (E-mail: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ) Abstract Based on the principles of green manufacturing, the ecological system of furniture design consists of the ecological furniture design analysis, implementation, evaluation, as well as supporting and maintenance. Compared to the traditional furniture material election, the material election subject to the green manufacturing presents a new philosophy. The principle of furniture material election subject to the green manufacturing involves the combination of technical principle, economical principle and environmental principle. This paper also discusses the minimization of life-cycle cost of furniture material election subject to green manufacturing. Key words Green manufacturing; Ecological design of furniture; Furniture material election; Materials life cycle 1 Introduction Furniture manufacturing is one of the most important basic industries to maintain the constant development of the national economy. However, while the furniture making has contributed to the material progress of the society, it has also led to possible ecological crisis like exhaustion of resources and environmental deterioration. Therefore, the learning circle carries out the study on ecological and green design of furniture, green manufacture technology and green material for furniture, hence an efficient way of solving for the ecological crisis in the furniture manufacturing. Compared with the above study, ecological design and material election for furniture under the philosophy of green manufacturing is a kind of brand-new concept and pattern.

It begins with an idea and culminates in a structure that may serve its occupants for several decades, even centuries. Like the manufacturing of products, building construction requires an ordered and planned assembly of materials. It is, however, far more complicated than product manufacturing. Buildings are assembled outdoors by a large number of diverse constructors and artisans on all types of sites and are subject to all kinds of weather conditions. Additionally, even a modest-sized building must satisfy many performance criteria and legal constraints, requires an immense variety of materials, and involves a large network of design and production firms. Building construction is further complicated by the fact that no two buildings are identical; each one must be custom built to serve a unique function and respond to its specific context and the preferences of its owner, user, and occupant.

  • WILLIAM Mcdonough, FAIA, Int. FRIBA
    WILLIAM McDONOUGH, FAIA, Int. FRIBA William McDonough is a globally recognized leader in sustainable development. McDonough is trained as an architect, yet his interests and infl uence range widely, and he works at scales from the global to the molecular. Time magazine recognized him as a “Hero for the Planet,” noting: “His utopianism is grounded in a unifi ed philosophy that—in demonstrable and practical ways—is changing the design of the world.” In 1996, McDonough received the Presidential Award for Sustainable Development, and in 2003 he earned the fi rst U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award for his work with Shaw Industries. In 2004, he received the National Design Award for exemplary achievement in the fi eld of environmental design. McDonough is the architect of many recognized fl agships of sustainable design, including the Ford Rouge truck plant in Michigan; the Adam Joseph Lewis Center for Environmental Studies at Oberlin College; and NASA’s Sustainability Base, one of the most innovative facilities in the federal portfolio. He currently leads and chairs the World Economic Forum’s Meta-Council on the Circular Economy. McDonough has written and lectured extensively on design as the fi rst signal of human intention. He was commissioned in 1991 to write The Hannover Principles: Design for Sustainability as guidelines for the City of Hannover’s EXPO 2000, still recognized two decades after publication as a touchstone of sustainable design. In 2002, McDonough and the German chemist Dr. Michael Braungart co-authored Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, which is widely acknowledged as a seminal text of the sustainability movement.

[email protected] 1205D Hours: T, Th12:30-1:30, Phone 936-0228 Arch 605 - Environmental Design Simulation, 3 Credit Hours Description: The focus of this course is the application of simulation techniques in design. The course uses computers, software, and virtual-reality visualization as design and research tools for environmental technology, including solar, thermal, lighting, and acoustics. The use of these tools will help in the understanding of fundamental principles involved in assessing the environment and creating new applications for simulation. Simulation is an anticipatory view of a system in a low risk situation. Environmental design simulation combines design experiences with technical assumptions. The rapid feedback on design alternatives makes simulation very well suited to design activities. New simulation techniques and new media enhance design exploration and communication. Simulation combined with multipurpose research facilities in the UM 3D Lab can remarkably accelerate design decisions. Planners, architects, engineers, landscape designers and other professionals use simulation techniques for evaluating and communicating the performance of each design option. The main emphasis of this course will be the application of simulation techniques in design and planning. The environmental design issues will be explored through well-documented case studies followed by lecture presentation and hands-on experience within the simulation

  • Regenerative System Design: Application in the Georgia
    REGENERATIVE SYSTEM DESIGN: APPLICATION IN THE GEORGIA PIEDMONT by ANDREW KILINSKI (Under the Direction of Jon Calabria) ABSTRACT In the southeast, our built environment will benefit from the productive and functional ecological systems needed to address impacts on natural systems to support forthcoming population growth, energy, and food production demands. Through precedent study analysis, interpretation, and current regenerative rating systems evaluation, regenerative design principles are applied to a ten-acre urban site in Athens, Georgia, to show how a systems-based design can restore ecological function within the built environment, while meeting energy and food production demands. The design application reveals the components critical to regenerative design, and illustrates how they are applied to a conceptual site design; it may also be utilized as a template for laypersons, landscape architects, or other design professionals interested in regenerative design for urban areas in the built environment.

Presented at our third ds21 conference at the ICA, London, November 17th 2005 http://attainable-utopias.org/tiki/ICA-Conference2005 Please cite Metadesigners Open Network http://metadesigners.org/ From Master-Design to Meta-Design Dr. Ulrike Sturm - Professor at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts I feel there is a need for a new Renaissance in thinking. The old Renaissance brought logic, analysis and judgement – often exercised through argument. The new Renaissance will be powered by design instead of judgement and by creativity instead of logical progression. (Edward de Bono in his weekly message on his homepage, 22nd May 2006) Western thinking is based on the idea of progress. One of its tenets is that mankind is able to shape his future by technical means. At the beginning of the 21st century, however, the belief that rationality will bring about a better living for all has given way to scepticism. Economic activity and technical invention do no longer keep the promise of infinite progress towards betterment. Severe problems on the level of living conditions and ecological threats, however, urge us not to give up the idea of a possible influence on future development. For that reason, one has to look for other means how complex and super-complex systems can be managed, how they can be steered even if an overall control has proven impossible. The Design Synergy 21 project, a part of the British Designing for the 21st Century Initiative, ascribes a leading part to design for future development and regards it as essential, if not existential tool for dealing with complex phenomena.
