Thomas Heatherwick is one of the worldâs most renowned designers, whose varied work over three decades is characterized by its originality, inventiveness, and humanity. Led by human experience rather than any fixed dogma, Heatherwick Studio creates emotionally compelling places and objects with a small climate shadow. Heatherwickâs team is currently working on over thirty projects in ten countries, including Azabudai Hills, a 8.1-hectare mixed-use development in the center of Tokyo, the new headquarters for Google in London, and Airo, an electric car that cleans the air as it drives. The studio has also recently completed Bay View, Googleâs first ground-up campus; Little Island, a park and performance space on the Hudson River in New York City; and Coal Drops Yard, a major new retail district in Kingâs Cross, London.
