Heatherwick’s Fuzzy UK Pavilion
Thomas Heatherwick‘s fuzzy UK Pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 blurs the architectural lines quite literally. Called Seed Cathedral, the see-through building is just fantastic. The 40-year-old Heatherwick thought of everything in awe-inspiring details, from the moving fiber optic-like strands to the embedded plant seed storage at the tip of each .
I can’t help but be a fan after walking up the trippy, sweeping staircase at the SoHo’s Longchamp store, appropriately named La Maison Unique. Just look at his portfolio from the Harvey Nichols installation in 1997 to Longchamp’s Zip Bag to the caterpillar-like Rolling Bridge.
You have to see it to believe his scope of imagination. It’s simply Wow.
