Description
We used to care about beautiful architecture.
Luckily, Thomas Heatherwick still does. He is on a quest to make the world less boring.
You may not know Thomas yet, but you know his work. He's designed iconic buildings and experiences and he says our cities have become dreadfully unhuman and our lack of beauty is negatively impacting our physical and mental health.
He's a truly original thinker with great insights into how to innovate, create, and humanize.
This is...A Bit of Optimism.
