Heatherwick Studio, founded in 1994 and led by Thomas Heatherwick (b.1970 in UK), is a London-based design team that undertakes innovative architectural and design projects around the world. Armed with an understanding of the history of objects and places, Heatherwick Studio designers study a variety of materials and utilize the latest developments in engineering, while also paying homage to traditional craftsmanship. They also engage in dialogue with the natural environment, reducing the anonymity of large spaces to human scale as they take eye-opening ideas and make them reality in remarkable ways. This exhibition will delve into a number of major Heatherwick Studio projects from the six viewpoints of “Coming Together,” “Connecting with Everyone,” “Experiencing Sculptural Space,” “Feeling Nature in Urban Space,” “Bringing Memories to the Future” and “Playing and Using.”
