Transformational Thought: Radical Ideas to Remake the Built Environment

by Jason F. McLennan

Transformational Thought by Jason F. McLennan is a dynamic collection of provocative essays that
critically challenge the design practices and thinking that are interwoven within our contemporary
cultural, societal, personal value systems.
Rather than an ominous commentary about the terminal shortcomings of society, McLennan relates
his architectural acumen and his eclectic knowledge of sustainability, proposing an intelligent, and
sometimes radical rethinking of how we live, work and plan for a living future.
McLennan addresses a wide variety of themes from personal to far-reaching systemic change. Each
insight points the reader toward sustainable solutions, challenges the status quo, balances practicality
with philosophy, and prepares us for a healthy and prosperous future. McLennan advocates for rapid
social change – calling for people to engage in productive initiatives beyond current models and to
cooperate, take chances and experiment outside of current corporate imagination and our precarious
societal scaffolding.
Transformational Thought provides us with compelling and timely direction in the most highly
transformative era humanity is yet to face.

This is definitely an interesting collection of articles concerning the work of Jason F McLennan and his efforts concerning sustainable architecture and construction,... but a bit repetitive unless you are an architecture nerd,... which I'm not.

Naive. Really made me lose faith in the leaders of sustainable design.
