An Evening with Thomas Heatherwick

9 Jun 2024 7-8pm

Overview

Thomas Heatherwick meets Johanna Agerman Ross to discuss the important role design plays in shaping the world around us, improving our health and wellbeing, and saving our planet.

Heatherwick’s team is currently working on over thirty projects in ten countries, including Toranomon-Azabudai, a six-hectare mixed-use development in Tokyo and the new Google headquarters in London. In this conversation, Heatherwick will reflect on the breadth of his output, his design principles, his campaign and book 'Humanise, a Maker’s Guide to Building Our World', and his critics. Drawing on thirty years of making bold structures and buildings across the globe, as well as new studies in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, Heatherwick’s manifesto brings together vivid stories and images, to summon designers and makers to put human emotion back at the heart of the design process.
