The extraordinary British architect and designer Thomas Heatherwick has been hailed as a genius, lauded by The New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger for the uniquely inventive nature of his work and praised by esteemed designer Sir Terence Conran as the “Leonardo da Vinci of our times.” The Nasher’s exhibition, the first in North America to present the work of Heatherwick Studio, examines the astonishing range of Heatherwick’s practice and traces the development of the studio's work from the design of small-scale objects and structures to complex, sophisticated buildings and master plans. The exhibition illuminates the studio's unique iterative "problem-solving" approach to design and the hands-on making that is such an important element of the studio's identity, highlighting the design concepts behind small, personal products as well as large public and private architectural projects in the U.K, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China. Organized by the Nasher Sculpture Center, the exhibition runs through January 4, 2015 and will travel to several venues in North America after its presentation in Dallas.
