Humanize : a maker's guide to designing our cities  Cover Image Book Book

Humanize : a maker's guide to designing our cities / Thomas Heatherwick.

Summary:

Our world is losing its humanity. Too many companies care more about their shareholders than their employees or customers. Too many politicians care more about elections than the people who vote for them. And too many cities feel soulless and depressing, designed for business, not for us. So where do we find hope? From one of the world's most innovative designers comes a fiercely passionate manifesto on why so many places have become miserable and boring and how we can make them better for everyone. Drawing on thirty years of making bold, beautiful buildings, Heatherwick takes us on a journey-full of vivid stories and hundreds of images-that will inspire us to see how we can make our world differently.
