The Design Futures Council has been a resource for providing strategic insights on the future of design and construction through its publication DesignIntelligence. “I look forward to serving in this important role with the Design Futures Council. The Council is an invaluable source for architects, designers, manufacturers and other building professionals throughout the world who help shape the future of our industry and environment,” said Ted Hathaway, who started his career with Oldcastle, Inc. as vice president, Development; was promoted to chief operating officer in 1998 and named chief executive officer in 2000.
