Why Thomas Heatherwick’s misguided ramblings are too dangerous to ignore. Thank you Olly Wainwright for pointing this out.

‘Dangerously misguided’: the glaring problem with Thomas Heatherwick’s architectural dreamworld

The designer’s new book Humanise spearheads a campaign excoriating decades of bad building. Has he forgotten his own expensive disasters? Our critic hasn’t

@ArchitectMing It's a hilarious read as well, because every example he gives of bad design has a shining turd of his own to demonstrate the point.

@davoloid It is the exceptionalism view that he held that I find it difficult to stomach. ‘Do as I say, but not what I do.’
Also he didn’t even write the book! I will be so embarrassed if I go on these interviews, all guns blazing, knowing they are not my words.
