Influences leading to FML

Thomas Heatherwick 


Even though Thomas Heatherwick is arguably more of a designer than an architect, I see his work as very architectural and sculptural. The shapes he uses are very natural and soft; in comparison to Zaha Hadid or Future Systems Architects, who similarly use flowing shapes, Thomas Heatherwick manages to avoid a more detached futuristic outcome. He creates elegant and natural structures using media that relates to nature.  As I try to bring in nature and natural forms in to my work, Thomas Heatherwick’s creations are a very significant source of inspiration for me.

I see his work as very sculptural and according to my tutors my work is sculptural as well so I believe this is the first link. Moreover, I enjoy the technical brilliance in his work. I believe I will subconsciously be inspired by Thomas Heatherwick work for a long time.

I believe I will relate my work even more to Thomas Heathwerwick work during FMP.
Since I am thinking about bringing nature to FMP he would be a good not so straight forward reference.
