They were first formulated by William McDonough and Michael Braungart for planning Expo 2000 in Hanover and are presented in a copyrighted 1992 document. The principles are: Insist on the right of humanity and nature to co-exist in a healthy, supportive, diverse and sustainable condition. Recognize interdependence. Respect relationships between spirit and matter. Accept responsibility for the consequences of design decisions upon human well-being, the viability of natural systems and their right to co-exist. Create safe objects of long-term value. Eliminate the concept of waste. Rely on natural energy flows. Understand the limitations of design. Seek constant improvement by the sharing of knowledge. == References == - [[Urban and Planning/Urban Design Principles]] - [[Building Services/Building Automation]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 10 - Landscape and Signs]] - [[Building Construction/Structural Systems/Timber Structures]] - [[History and Theory/World History/Contemporary Architecture]] - [[Landscape]] - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing/Construction Specifications]] - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing/Joint Design]] - [[Professional Practice/Codes & Standards/National Building Code of India/Part 06 - Structural Design/Section 7B - Systems Building]] - [[Building Construction/Structural Systems/Steel Structures]] == External links == The Hannover Principles The Hannover Principles, Design for Sustainability, Prepared for EXPO 2000 The World’s Fair Hannover, Germany
