Designing the Extraordinary *EXHIBITION*
by Heatherwick Studio
V&A Museum [31 May – 30 September 2012]
I believe understanding the creative process and the craft of making can inform design. Thomas Heatherwick is of a small breed of studios (see also sixteen*makers) who still continues to investigate materials and the art of making, of craft, of material & of [new] possibilities. *It makes me wonder whether I want to do my Part III to become a qualified architect & to spend my money elsewhere!*
“Heatherwick Studio: Designing the Extraordinary reveals the creative processes and spirit of curiosity of Thomas Heatherwick and his studio across two decades of projects, spanning the disciplines of architecture, furniture and product design, to engineering, sculpture and urban planning.The exhibition is organised in clusters that represent recurring themes in his work, demonstrating the process and inspiration behind projects from the past 20 years. His work reveals a fascination for texture, for what materials can do and how far boundaries can be pushed.”

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2012
Herzog & de Meuron with Ai Weiwei
I was really looking forward to seeing the first images released of the pavilion design created by a talented colloboration however soon after the images were released the initial ground work fails to uncover previous foundations. There was real poetic intentions to ‘reveal’ the sites history of previous structures but I think someone forgot to do their research! I suspect it will still prove popular, be stimulating and you will still find me there!

The Scotsman Visual Art Review @ the RSA New Contemporaries 2012
“The architecture entries are more enigmatic, but I particularly liked Andrew Morris’s sculptural take on the forms of buildings. Altogether it is a lively show. We are lucky that our educational system can still encourage such diversity of talent.”
