Thomas Heatherwick Humanise /anglais Paperback – October 19, 2023

It explains step by step why the building environment became so boring. A death sentence to the “well-mannered” box.

Humanise by Thomas Heatherwick is hands down the coolest book I've ever read! It's not just interesting; it's a game-changer. This book came to the rescue when I had to write a history essay. The way Heatherwick spins ideas is mind-blowing and made my essay pop with a fresh perspective. It's not just a book; it's your secret weapon for both leisure and academia. Seriously, get ready to be hooked!

referred by a friend. easy and interesting read

Thomas Hetherwick's architectural portfolio consists exclusively of ugly eyesores. He is the infamous designer of that hideous giant "sculpture" at New York's Hudson Yards which has been closed indefinitely after four suicides jumped to their deaths from it - I believe in its first year. How Hetherwick fancies himself qualified to lecture us on what kind of architecture to appreciate is...unfathomable...kind of like "cat lady" Jocelyn Wildenstein writing a book on how to be more beautiful.Hetherwick's international legacy is one of architectural monstrosities - very much in line with the ugliness of "Brutalist" design of several decades ago. Frankly, if he had never become an "architect" the world would be a much better & more attractive place.
