推荐给喜欢设计的人，很满意的一本书。

Of all the Architecture/Design books I own if I was given the choice of getting to keep but just one book it would have to be this book. I'm an Architect/Sculptor/Designer and although I've only skimmed this book (as it just arrived) I was immediately struck by the quality and depth of content. His creative solutions are not only well exhibited by numerous photos but well accompanied with in-depth text explanations, process sketches and fabrication photos. This book has Thomas Heatherwick's personal touch all over it. I feel like I'm witnessing yet another Leonardo da Vinci but of the 21st Century. His design solutions are so out of the box that his body of work will inspire all of us in the art and design communities to go well beyond our own personal boundaries so as to embrace a new 'WHAT IF?'.

We went and saw the Heatherwick exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum. I had never heard of him, but we were visiting London and it seemed like a good idea.

It was an excellent idea! He is an architect/industrial designer of such vision, it was actually overwhelming to look at his work. They had run out of his books - because everyone who sees his stuff wants to know more - and I promised my son we would order it when we came come. It's an expensive books but it will give you hours of pleasure, as you leisurely dip in and out of it, looking at the buildings/structures he creates, seeing the world through new eyes. So glad that there are people like him out there, making us see beauty in a new light.

Fantastic designer, terrific book. Saw the show at the Cooper-Hewitt museum in NYC last year. Knocked me out, brilliant.
Book was much cheaper on Amazon then at museum.

Amazing artistry, amazing book. This thing is YYUUGE! Great photography. I would recommend it to any aspiring architect or inventor or--well, really, anybody. It is that good.

As an in depth study of the excitement of the creative process I found this book supremely stimulating. Multiple freewheeling streams of investigation, thought and debate lead to often surprising and always delightful results.

It reopened my eyes to what is creatively possible, given the capacity to take infinite pains and never take no for an answer.

A must read for all designers, artists, architects.
